 Joe Jackson, first studio album in four years, “Rain”, released in Europe on January 28th (January 29th in North America), will now be released by Rykodisc as a two-disc set, including a bonus DVD directed and produced by Julie Gardner, the recording engineer who recorded Joe’s last two studio albums. With a running time of over 40 minutes, the DVD will feature recent live performance footage, behind-the-scenes footage and a rare television interview.
"We decided to let Julie Gardner, who we've worked with for years now,”
says Jackson, “ to follow us around as we worked, playing a live show,
rehearsing, and just talking about playing together and our long
history together as band mates and just mates.”
The DVD will consist of three live songs that Jackson performed at
London’s Islington Academy on 24th May 2007. The songs performed
include “Invisible Man”, “Wasted Time” and “Good Bad Boy”, all of which
appear on the forthcoming studio album.
Other DVD features include a rare interview on the German television
show “Rockpalast”, behind-the-scenes footage of Jackson with fellow
band members Dave Houghton (drums) and Graham Maby (bass), footage of
Jackson walking around Berlin, pointing out some of his favorite things
about the city, plus footage of the band in the studio working on the
new album.
Jackson follows the release of the album with a rare London concert at Shepherd's Bush Empire on Sunday 2nd March 2008.
