Having sold more than 100 million records over the past quarter of a century, Billy Joel ranks as one of most popular recording artists and respected entertainers in the world. In the US he has had 33 Top 40 hits and 23 Grammy nominations since signing his first solo recording contract in 1972. In the UK he has had 14 top 40 hits including the number one hit “Uptown Girl” as well as the original version of “She’s Always a Woman”. In addition to his multiple awards, including Grammys and American Music Awards, his contribution to the industry saw him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, and in 2005 he was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Piano Man brings all of Billy Joel’s best loved hits together on one disc.
This international collection of highlights from the East Coast native’s prolific career takes its choicest bits from Columbia’s three hugely successful Greatest Hits compilations. Piano Man: The Very Best of Billy Joel may just skim the surface of Joel’s large reservoir of material, but it’s hard to argue with the end results. All of the radio hits, minus some of the more obscure ones like “Allentown,” “Pressure,” and “Matter of Trust” are dutifully represented. From “River of Dreams” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire” to “Piano Man” and “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,” this skillfully paced compilation, which also includes a ten-track DVD, is about as good a single-disc Billy Joel primer as one is likely to find. ~ James Christopher Monger
