Not only is Billy Joel an accomplished Pianist with one very active
left hand (which separates him from the wannabes), he's a great
songwriter and brilliant lyricist. This compilation spans most of the
Piano Man's career, with every hit imaginable. We're talking: "Piano
Man", "Captain Jack", "New York State Of Mind", "She's Always A Woman,
"Movin' Out, "Only The Good Die Young", "Just The Way You Are",
"Honesty", "My Life" and "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me". That's just
on the first disc, by the way! This is the Billy Joel Compilation I'd
recommend to anyone who doesn't own a Billy Joel CD. As far as the
original albums go (in case you don't want to purchase a compilation
CD), I would suggest The Stranger (1977) and 52nd Street (1978) |
