Today, Joe Jackson reveals 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. The video can be found on earMUSIC's official YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Px1dqzlQkcI

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).
Starting February 2019, Jackson and the band will embark on a new world tour, playing shows throughout the US and Europe and performing material drawn off five albums (Look Sharp (1979), Night And Day (1982), Laughter And Lust (1991), Rain (2008), and Fool (2019)) as well as a couple of songs from other albums and some new covers.
