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.
