Billy Joel is perhaps the most versatile pop rock artist of the past 30 years, and this album tends to surprise people who are only familiar with his more pop-inspired, 80s-era music. Piano Man has a folksy, sometimes even bluegrassy sound to it, and it gives you a whole new perspective on this incredible artist's many talents. It is full of the thoughtful lyrics of a young man on the verge of greatness, and is a personal favorite of mine. I think all of Billy Joel's work is essential for understanding the course of 20th century rock and pop, and he never fails to surprise with every album. Piano Man was released very early in his career, and it shows an evolution in sound and style that he continues to develop with each successive album. A defining artist of the 20th century, and a landmark album from him!Read full review
Billy Joel FLIES like an eagle throughout this cd. The sounds of voice and piano soar and my ears thrill with excitement in the notes. Excellent buy!

This excellent recording brings the classic early songs of Billy Joel to CD with great clarity. Be you a new listener or someone searching for memories from the 70s you will enjoy Piano Man in all its remastered glory. I purchased it due to the nostalgia but, upon listening, the quality of the music was excellent!
This will be a nice addition to my collection

I saw Billy Joel for $3.00 in college on the Piano Man Tour. Now I get the CD for $2.00 more. Just close my eyes at it's 1975 again. Must Have CD for anyone who went onto higher education in the late seventies!
