In his own inimitable fashion, Billy Joel has crafted some of the catchiest pop hits of the '80s and '90s, and most of them--17, to be exact--are on this disc. The jaunty, nostalgic "Keeping the Faith" opens things up, and we cruise right down memory lane with Billy: through the pop-soul of "A Matter of Trust," the brash, rocking "I Go to Extremes" and "All About Soul" (remixed here to good effect). Joel has grown over the course of his long career, and you can trace his maturity as an artist through these later songs. The tone is a bit darker, a bit edgier than on his earlier tunes. This is an artist who has always been about making pop music, but he's also lived and learned: "You gotta get tough/but that ain't enough/it's all about soul." Fans will probably agree, and will enjoy this collection immensely.

      Another must-have for Billy Joel fans!
    Review created: 07/20/08
    by:

    Fourteen of his greatest hits from the newer albums-The Bridge, Storm Front, and River of Dreams('83-'92)plus three new songs including his rendition of Bob Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love." It's a MUST-HAVE for any BJ fan! Also comes with the words so you can sing along and learn all those tough, speedy, lyrics from "We Didn't Start The Fire" and more.+++++
