Released: 1980 DB Cooper Buy American Genre: Joe Jackson Rating: 4.25 out of 5 Highlights: Had Enough No Way Out Caroline Did Joe sue Cooper for stealing his sound? Can he? In retrospect? Regardless of if Cooper made any money off this album or if just to get some hands on that sweet, jumpin’ from the plane stolen cash (I know it wasn’t this guy but…) There is, like, no information about Cooper on the webz. The rhythm guitarist, Ric Streeter, showed up on some forum that you can dig for but, I have no idea who they were or where they went after their next album. “Right Here, Right Now” is the weirdest hybridization of Joe Jackson’s “Got the Time” and The Rolling Stones. And it works! I could pretty much highlight just about ever track from this Power Pop gem from the Year of the Power Pop Album Before the Knacklash. It’s solid. And I really wanna know what the heck happened to DB Cooper? How did this guy disappear like the guy he named himself for?
