"This is a must for any Billy Joel fan. An epic collection spanning his whole career, the Piano Man performs such greats as "Just the way you are," "New York State Of Mind," "Uptown girl" and of course, "Piano Man." When one associates the name Billy Joel, the first word that springs to mind is of course the "Piano Man." These CD's showcase not only the popular music that most of society has come to know and love, but lesser received songs such as "All for Leyna" and "Don't ask me why." One can not measure the greatness of a song and performer by whether or not they reached a number 1 on the charts these days. What defines a great performer and his work is, have they stood the test of time? In Billy Joel's case...the answer is a definitive yes. They were anthems for the baby boomers, and yet are still played on commercial radio around the globe today. This CD showcases the remarkable career of a remarkable performer and will not dissapoint"
