Soar Like a Bird with His Heart Full of Song

For a few years, some of my friends and I have been sharing music. We’re supposed to review/rate what gets shared with us then share those reviews with the group, but that doesn’t always happen.

Billy Joel – Cold Spring Harbor (1971)

As Tim prepare’s for the Billy Joel concert this weekend, he shared Joel’s first album.

I’ve listened to a lot of Billy Joel, but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this album before. Apparently there was a mixing/mastering mistake that made his voice sound a little higher and Billy Joel hates it.

The Way to Stay in Someone’s Soul

Billy Joel – An Innocent Man (1983)

After last week’s disco diversion, Tim is back on track with his journey through Billy Joel’s catalogue.

I never realized that this album was an homage to American music from the ’50s and ’60s on purpose. I thought it was just what kind of mood he was in at the time. But as it turns out, it was a conscious effort to do an homage to some of his influences.

If You’re All Alone When the Pretty Birds Have Flown

For a few years, some of my friends and I have been sharing music. We’re supposed to review/rate what gets shared with us then share those reviews with the group, but that doesn’t always happen.

Last week Tim wanted to do some disco, but with Halloween, I convinced him to put that off another week. Also, I needed time to listen to some disco and choose an album to share. I only own two records I would say are disco. I was going to share one of them, but Tim beat me to the punch:

Abba – Gold (1992)

Being a greatest hits album, this album is full of great tunes.

The Stained-Glass Curtain You’re Hiding Behind

For a few years, some of my friends and I have been sharing music. We’re supposed to review/rate what gets shared with us then share those reviews with the group, but that doesn’t always happen.

Weezer – Pacific Daydream (2017)

Weezer‘s latest release, only a couple of days old.

The first thing I have to say is that the artwork seems very un-Weezer-y. It looks like art, instead of just a picture of the four of them, and I like it.
