Music reviews of Songs in the Attic
Music Review: Greatest Hits Volume 1/2
Rating: 3 Stars
It took me 28 years to buy this album! I remember when it came out, I had never heard much of Billy Joel pre-Stranger; I just didn't think the songs were in the same league as his last 3 albums which by then I had acquired, and the singles "Say Goodbye To Hollywood" and "She's Got A Way", though pretty, just fizzled out on the charts. That being said, I've recently been listening more to his first four albums, where the songwriting was maybe not so evenly inspired as his later albums, but already present were his vocal personality and his marvelous piano playing, which are certainly highlighted here. I have all the albums these songs come from, and I don't really think the live versions add much to anything (except maybe Captain Jack where there are more dynamics than the studio version). Like a live album by Elton John or Paul McCartney, this doesn't so much highlight his very competent band merely as put it to good use. I would have liked to hear "Angry Young Man", "Worse Comes To Worse", "Root Beer Rag", and a half-dozen other songs, but it's only a single album, and maybe they went for the more generic sounding songs because they sounded smoother (given the fact that it's live). The song I most wanted to hear, "Los Angelinos", though with a potential to be rocked up a bit, doesn't sound quite as snappy as the album version (and the vocal seems less subtle and sly - but there is admittedly a bit more energy and the drumming is better). Overall, not a bad set of songs to listen to, but if you're looking to listen to early Billy Joel, I would get the album "Turnstiles" first, then "Cold Spring Harbor".
