Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
It's one of the cruel ironies of music today that Billy Joel has been relegated to a kind of adult-contemporary hell, where his legacy is measured by soft-rock staples such as "Just the Way You Are," "Piano Man," and "New York State of Mind." To be sure, well-crafted ballads are a part of his legacy, but they're hardly the whole story, as this collection of his early and mid-period hits amply demonstrates. From the unbridled biographical boasting of "The Entertainer" and the ambitious storytelling of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" to the careening abandon of "Only the Good Die Young" and the thoughtful social commentary of "Allentown," Joel was as complete an artist as the last three decades have produced. --Daniel Durchholz
Customer Reviews
Bill Joel CD
This product was delivered to me in good order. I would order from this vender again.
Super Collection of his songs
Bily Joel has always been a great music maker. This CD is a great collection of those songs. I enjoy this CD very much.
One of a Kind Talent
One of the best of our time, just a great library of music and one heck of a good man. So many songs and his writing, words and music tell so many stories and in this collection has it all and can listen to it often from cover to cover. Another unique talent that we have yet to see anyone upcoming of similar talent.
