Editorial Reviews

Product Description

.

Amazon.com

Early in his career, Billy Joel seemed cynical about fame, even as that distrust bore strange fruit: mainstream superstardom (thanks to "Just the Way You Are," "Honesty," and "My Life") and multiple Grammy awards, as well as the critic's-whipping-boy status that went with them. Maybe it was that restlessness--or undiluted cynicism--that inspired left turns into roots and nostalgia (the spunky "It's Still Rock & Roll to Me," "You May Be Right," "Uptown Girl," and "The Longest Time") as his career peaked. Perhaps not surprisingly, not long after Joel's songs seemed to find their most satisfying balance of angst and mature reflection on songs like "Storm Front" and "River of Dreams," he threatened to bolt the pop music business altogether. The 2001 recordings of "Waltz No. 1" and "Invention in C Minor" that round out this set are the unlikely products of Joel's commitment to classical music. Billy Joel remains both a true, if oft-lambasted, American pop icon and that rarest of animals: a bonafide crowd-pleaser with a serious case of 'tude. Both are well chronicled here. --Jerry McCulley

    4.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Should Be Transparent About Downloading...
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This review is not pertaining to Billy Joel, but rather Amazon's digital content distribution methods. I purchased this album, then found out that each song has to be downloaded individually and before doing so you have to install Amazon's proprietary software player. I'm sure the former is to limit piracy, but I can't see it as being very effective. Legitimate users need to copy the album to their portable media players and this control will likely not thwart a determined pirate. I'm fine with this if it does in effect limit piracy beyond my knowledge, but my main issue is that Amazon should be more upfront before the purchase about communicating the above to their customers. So I'm giving Billy Joel 4 stars and 0 stars for Amazon's download implementation.
