Despite his tremendous success, Billy Joel’s gifts as a composer and commentator on American life are long overdue for a thorough investigation. In Billy Joel: America’s Piano Man, music historian Joshua S. Duchan looks at the career and music of this remarkable singer-songwriter, exploring the unique ways Joel channels and transforms the cultural life of a changing America over four decades into bestselling song after song and album after album. Billy Joel has not always enjoyed the acclaim of music critics, who have characterized his music as inauthentic and lacking a uniqueness of style. Duchan corrects this misunderstanding by exploring the depth and degree to which Joel’s songs engage with social, cultural, political, and economic issues. Organized by major themes and including original interviews with Joel himself, Duchan’s book delves into Joel’s endeavors as a musician, lyricist, and commentator on questions of geography and regionalism, politics, working- and middle-class culture, human relationships, and the history of music itself. Duchan draws on key songs from Joel’s career to explore each theme, from his folk-like lament for Long Island’s changing industry and lifestyle in “The Downeaster ‘Alexa’” to his emotional ode to Vietnam veterans in “Goodnight Saigon.” Original interviews with Billy Joel blend with Duchan’s engaging analysis to provide readers of all backgrounds and ages a new look at these unforgettable songs. Music lovers and historians of both the academic and armchair variety will find this exploration of Joel’s work a rewarding adventure into America’s social, cultural, political, economic, and—above all—musical history.

'In the beginning, ' Billy Joel entertained Long Island locals, with The Hassles and Attila, prior to forging a solo career in 1971. One year later, the singer-songwriter-pianist captivated college students when 'Captain Jack' dominated the Philadelphia airwaves. 'And so, it goes...' Cold Spring Harbor was rife with barrelhouse piano and tear-stained balladry but with Turnstiles Joel realised his dream of forming a stellar band.

Then, in the early 2000's, his celebration of classical works ushered in a sea change. Unquestionably, Billy's catalogue has thrived, despite constantly changing trends in the music industry. Over a fifty-plus year span, many of his relatable songs have become standards, covered by countless artists. The third best-selling solo artist in the U.S. has continued to attract multi-generational audiences across the planet, so if you're 'all in the mood for a melody, ' read on. Billy Joel On Track contains behind-the-scenes stories and an analysis of Joel's extensive studio recordings, many of which became top 40 hits in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

William "Billy" Martin Joel, born on May 9th, 1949, The Bronx, New York City, US then brought up on Long Island, New York, is a singer-songwriter, composer and pianist. Commonly nicknamed the "Piano Man", he's been making music since the 1960s, releasing popular albums throughout the '70s, '80s and '90s, having sold over 150 million records worldwide.Joel was a member of 2 short-lived bands, The Hassles and Attila, before beginning a solo career in 1971, with his first release, Cold Spring Harbor. In 1972, Billy caught the attention of Columbia Records, after a live radio performance of the song "Captain Jack" became popular on the West Coast, leading to him signing a new record deal with the company then issuing his second solo L.P., Piano Man, which produced his first hit single of the same name.After releasing 2 more albums, Streetlife Serenade and Turnstiles, Joel released his critical, breakthrough L.P., The Stranger, in 1977, which became Columbia's best-selling release, selling over 10 million copies, while producing several hit singles, including "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)", "Just the Way You Are", and "Only the Good Die Young". A year later, Billy's album 52nd Street was his first to top the Billboard 200 charts. After being criticized for being soft and releasing too many slow ballad songs, Joel issued his 7th studio L.P., Glass Houses, attempting to enhance his standing as a rock and roll artist. His following album, The Nylon Curtain, was released in 1981, having stemmed from Billy's desire to create more lyrically and melodically ambitious music. An Innocent Man, released in 1983, paid homage to genres of music which Joel had grown up with in the 1950s, including Rhythm and Blues and doo-wop. In 1993, Billy issued his 12th and final solo L.P., The River of Dreams. In 2001, he released Fantasies and Delusions, an album featuring classical compositions composed by Joel, performed by British-Korean pianist Richard Hyung-ki Joo. Billy provided the voice of the character Dodger in 1988, for the 27th animated Disney film, Oliver & Company. During the 20 years of his solo career, Joel had 33 Top 40 hits in the US, all self-written, 3 of which, "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me", "Tell Her About It", and "We Didn't Start the Fire", topped the US charts. Billy is a 6-time Grammy Award winner, who's been nominated for 23 Grammy Awards. Joel is the 6th best-selling recording artist in the US and the all-time 3rd best-selling solo artist.

Over the course of his career, Billy Joel has released a series of remarkable albums that together chart his journey as an artist from relative obscurity to international success. In Experiencing Billy Joel, musician and writer Thomas MacFarlane explores that musical journey, from Joel’s apprenticeship in the Long Island music scene to his experiences in both New York and Los Angeles writing and recording his own unique brand of piano rock and pop. After achieving a certain degree of musical success in the late 1960s, Joel embarked on a career as a singer-songwriter in the early 1970s. Although his initial albums demonstrated a precocious mastery that helped establish him in the field, his full potential as a recording artist blossomed on The Stranger (1977), created under the guidance of legendary producer Phil Ramone. Subsequent releases explored a variety of musical styles and helped solidify Joel’s reputation as one of the most important pop composers of his era. Experiencing Billy Joel explores each of Joel’s albums, laying out their appeal to musicians and non-musicians alike while also exploring the various production styles that have characterized Joel’s development in the studio. Along the way, MacFarlane reveals how Billy Joel’s recorded works as a whole serve as the foundation for a complex and enduring musical legacy.

Billy Joel: The Life and Times of an Angry Young Man is a look at the superstar's entire career, including his troubled youth as a gang member; the controversy surrounding his first hit, “Captain Jack”; his legal problems; his storied marriage with Christie Brinkley; and his continued artistic frustration. “The Beatles did 'Michelle' and 'Yesterday '” he has said., “They also did 'Revolution' and 'Helter Skelter' and they weren't pegged as balladeers. But because I had hit singles that were ballads, I became known as a balladeer. I've always resented it.” Joel – one of the top ten touring takes of the decade – has continued his standing road date with Elton John on the never-ending Two Pianos tour. It was one of the world's top-grossing tours in 2009, just behind U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
