While nothing here matches Joe Jackson’s powerful hit single, “Is She Really Going Out With Him," his second longplayer, 'J’m The Man” (A&M) is a more consistant effort than his highly successful debut. Jackson's music has obviously been influenced by b^nds from the sixities, yet his forceful, almost angry, stance makes him thoroughly modem. Excellent material, a fine band, and a great leader, Joe Jackson has little to worry abo'rt. Blues fai.s will want to order Luther Allison’s “Gonna Be A Live One In Here Tonight!’’ (W.00 Rumble Records, P.O. Box 84, Peoria. III. 61650). Mr. Allison is one of the younger and more enjoyable bluesman playing

the Chicago circuit. This album is evidence why he’s held in high esteem worldwide. A dynamic guitarist, who sings in a passionate, controlled voice, Luther Allison has come up with one of the best blues albums available today. Instead of sounding musty and outdated, this live set is fun and rocking. The blues never sounded better. Also, from Chicago is the eccentric Wazmo Nariz, who has just issued his first album, “Things Aren’t Right” (IRS/A&M). People are going to say Wazmo doesn’t sound right, as his voice takes some getting used to. Imagine a grittier Talking Heods, and you’ll have an idea of what you’re in for with this record. Some good tunes, most notably "Checking Out The Checkout Giri,” but Wazmo Nariz isn’t quite ready to crack the masses'. Maybe, someday.

Roy Sundholm stands a better chance. Who? Well, not many have heard of him,, yet, but his first, album, “The Chinese Method” (Polydor) is full of bright, catch songs that hold up to repeated playings. Unfortunately, his band doesn’t posses the energy Sundholm has, and, until they do, the arrangements will tend to sbund bland. Still, he’s got the songs and the voice, so anything could happen. Reggae hasn’t caught on in America the way a lot of us thought it would. So far, Bob Marley and The Wailers have made the biggest dent, but following close behind is ex-Wailer Peter Tosh. "Mystic Man” (Rolling Stones) is his new album and Tosh continues to try to appeal to both reggae fanatics and disco followers. The results are mixed. Oh one hand, Tosh is writing some of his best material, but the attempt to blend the two styles is clumsy and certainly not needed. Maybe someday he’ll be the Mick Jagger of reggae, which Tosh seems to aspire to, but it’s doubtful it’ll happen until he returns to making the pure, soulful sounds he started out with.
