Piano Man [Columbia, 1973]Joel's Cold Spring Harbor was recorded in the vicinity of 38-rpm to fit all the material on--he's one of these eternal teenagers who doesn't know how to shut up.

>>130971100Billy Joel is maybe the most goated singer/songwriter. Only one close in my book is Jim Croce. On Long Island, its almost a requirement to graduate High School to sing most of his songs by heart
>>130971100his first appearance on record was at age 15 when he played drums on "Leader of the Pack." the drum pattern on the song is very rudimentary, showing it was played by an inexperienced kid.
>>130971267the NYC critics hated Joel because they believed he was a Mafia plant to push lounge music instead of the punk and New Wave they pushed
>>130971100He's just a jew, he can't help looking like that
>>130971100i hate this fish-lipped heeb so much it's unreal.
>>130971100Jamie Stewart’s dad produced this
>>130971100Joel wasn't super happy with the production here because CBS forced him to use this slick AC backing and not the rock sound he was going for.
