“Is this a strange land / Or am I the stranger?”
Joe Jackson has revealed the second song from his upcoming studio album “Fool”. Undoubtedly musical, touchingly beautiful and lyrically powerful, “Strange Land” explores a sense of place in today’s world. “Strange Land” is accompanied by an intimate live performance video.
“Fool”, the 20th studio album celebrating the artist’s 40th anniversary, is going to be released as CD Digipak, 1LP + download, Limited 1LP+7inch Vinyl+download (incl. 2 previously unreleased songs) and Digital on January 18 2019 on earMUSIC.
The album was co-produced by Jackson and producer Pat Dillett (David Byrne, Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard, etc.) The band in question was the same group that Jackson has played live with ever since the release of “Fast Forward”: Teddy Kumpel on guitar, Doug Yowell on drums, and long-time collaborator Graham Maby on bass (Maby was on that first recording session 40 years ago as well).
