BILLY JOEL - Glass Houses (​1980)



[SIZE=2]Billy Joel is one of the most prolific singer songwriters of our generation. I have always pegged him as the American answer to Elton John. I wonder if Joel and John have ever recorded together. It's a shame if they haven't!

Back to the album in hand from my vinyl vault...Glass House, Billy's seventh studio release sandwiched between the highly successful 52nd Street( Big Shot, My Life) and his live unheard by me, Piano Manless Songs in the Attic.

Glass Houses came in at number 4 for the Billboard charts of 1980. During its' initial release it reached number one in the U.S. and Canada and number two in Australia,and as usual only number 9 in the UK who seem to be hesitant at times in accepting foreign artists... It's Still Rock and Roll To Me, You May Be Right and Don't Ask Me Why are highlights for me! The only thing I don't like about this album is that all the more popular tracks appear on Side One!
