Long Description
From his Wikipedia entry: Along with Elvis Costello and Graham Parker, Jackson was a part of the trio of British-based artists that challenged the punk scene and brought a New Wave sound to the United States in the late 1970s. He was popular for his power-pop and New Wave sound early on before moving to more eclectic, though less commercially successful, pop/jazz/classical musical pieces. Although born 'David', in the mid-1970s he picked up the nickname 'Joe' because of his resemblence to a puppet character called Joe 90.
