   Rain is a beautiful album. I have been playing it repeatedly since I saw Joe Jackson in concert on Monday. The piano on this album is great. I am coming to love every song on the album but my favorites right now are Rush Across the Road and Uptown Train.… Expand

   Any fan of Joe Jackson doesn't really need to read a review of the latest release. He or she knows it's going to be great. Joe just keeps writing and performing beautiful songs that never fit into any one genre neatly.

   At first blush, this isn't is best effort, despite using his best band. Repeated listens will likely reveal hidden pleasures. Sounds like the kind of record that will seed some great iTunes playlists in months to come.… Expand
