Billy Joel - Piano Man Legacy Edition
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Billy Joel - Piano Man Legacy EditionBefore he was a globe-trotting pop star with supermodel wives, Joel was a lounge artist stuck in a Los Angeles bar. His breakthrough recording, with its title track mirroring those struggling days, turned everything around, establishing the Bronx-born artist as a chart-topping singer-pianist to rival Elton John. This 2-CD edition of the album, featuring such Elton-like numbers as “Captain Jack” and “Stop in Nevada,” includes a long-lost 1972 radio concert with several of Joel’s earliest love songs available for the first time.
