Rykodisc is proud to announce the release of the new Joe Jackson record on January 28, 2008. Entitled, Rain, it’s the first Jackson record since the brilliant and critically acclaimed Volume 4 was released in 2003. While Volume 4 and the seven-month tour that followed featured the reunion of the original, iconic Joe Jackson Band, Rain, was made with three of those four members: Jackson (vocals and keyboards), Graham Maby (bass/vocals) and Dave Houghton (drums/vocals). The record was produced by Jackson, and recorded in his newly-adopted city of Berlin at Planet Roc studios.

The album precedes Jackson’s highly anticipated European tour which kicks off at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Friday February 29th. Jackson will then play a one-off UK show at the London Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Sunday March 2, followed by a full UK tour later in 2008.
