Greatest Hits Vols. 1 & 2 [Remaster] [ECD] by Billy Joel (CD, Oct-1998, 2 Discs, Columbia USA)

BUY THIS CD! If you are anything of a Billy Joel fan you must buy this CD. I loved the arrngement on the CD. It has a great variety of songs that span his entire career. He sang a song called Honesty a very long time ago. The fact this song is not on the disc is the only dissapointment I have with it. Otherwise it a great disc set to own. You can't go wrong with the melodics of Billys' work on the piano. He is amongst the greatest story tellers of our time. Ballads like his are few and far between anymore. And the variety in his lyrics leave you with something to feel good about anytime you hear his music. He is not a one topic musician. He throws his little spins on just about every life topic you can think of. If you ever get a chance to see him perform live, I highly recommend it. I saw him play at Tampa Stadium with Elton John. It is a beautiful thing to see 60,000 people singing and dancing to 2 of the best piano players of our time. Billy knows how to work a crowd. His on stage persona reflects in his music. This 2 disc set brings me back to that experience EVERY TIME I pop it in the CD player. I hope you enjoy as well as I have over the years. Michael.
