I have a soft spot in my heart for Billy Joel. His was the first recording I ever owned, on any format. "Glass Houses" on vinyl, in fact. As time went on and my tastes changed, I grew away from his music. I've not heard one of his songs in many years as a result. After I got into "audiophildom", I tried a couple times to relive some of those old memories, but couldn't make it to the end of the song due to the horrible sound quality.
So to make a short story longer, I'm following with interest as well.
I had high hopes a few years ago when he orchestrated that instrumental piano album, but before I bought it, I discovered it wasn't even him playing, it was some other guy. What the hell is the deal with that?
Also, I noticed he's released another "Greatest Hits".
Not sure how many he's up to, but it's become shameful.
I love the man and his music, but damn....
