Artist:  Joe Jackson

Title:  Look Sharp!

Date:  1979

Cover Photography:  Brian Griffin

Notes:  From the beginning of the 80's New Wave movement came Joe Jackson.  His music continued to evolve and grow and he's still producing wonderful albums.  This one in particular is full of fast pop tunes and slow stories of love won and lost, reggae influenced tales of folls in love and so on.  A musician, a poet, but mostly a story teller.  The B & W photography captures the DIY feel of the period.

Line Up:

Joe Jackson: vocals, piano, harmonica
Gary Sanford: guitar

Dave Houghton: drums
