It is a concise tour of a remarkable catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoel rose from New York's bar and club scene to become one of the defining singer-songwriters of his generation. His gift was storytelling, sketching vivid portraits of ordinary lives with a melodic flair inherited from rock and roll, Tin Pan Alley and doo-wop alike. This collection, first released in 2004, spans his rise through the 1970s and his chart-topping years that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiano Man, of course, sets the scene with its harmonica, waltzing piano and bar-room cast of dreamers. Uptown Girl is a joyous, doo-wop flavoured romp, and We Didn't Start The Fire rattles off decades of history at breakneck speed. She's Always A Woman offers one of his most tender ballads, delicate and bittersweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, New York State Of Mind and Movin' Out show off his love for his home city, while Just The Way You Are proves why he became a go-to for romantic ballads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom quiet piano confessions to stadium-sized anthems, it is all here. A perfect introduction, or a reliable favourite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478967492913,"sku":"5099751901822","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Billy_Joel-Piano_Man_The_Very_Best_Of_Billy_Joel_CD.jpg?v=1794396847","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/billy-joel-piano-man-the-very-best-of-billy-joel-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
