Joe's 1979 debut album.
Although I only have a couple of JJ albums, I've long admired his song-writing - he's classically trained in composition if memory serves - hence taking this opportunity to listen to some more of his music.
One of the late-'70s New Wavers, Joe had a brief dalliance with fame, but sank from view fairly quickly, although he's still active & is still releasing new work.
The obvious comparison would be with Elvis Costello for me with this album. Solid effort which finds its' way easily onto the Buy List.
AllMusic 5/5 stars.
