On this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, host david Dye speaks with Joe Jackson. He's just released "Rain," his first album of new material in five years. Jackson's pace may have slowed since the early days, when he churned out five albums between 1979 and 1982, but he's maintained his commitment to quality musicianship. Joe Jackson performs selections from "Rain," as well as his 1979 breakthrough song "Is She Really Going Out With Him?"
