Review

For the casual fan, The Essential Billy Joel still does the trick. However, this five-disc set rewards fans who have stuck by the Piano Man through the last four decades. Packed with 66 tracks, 23 previously unreleased, My Lives includes rare solo demos, b-sides, soundtrack hits, unexpected cover songs and plenty of blackmail material. Before hitting his stride as a hugely successful pop artist, it turns out Joel put in time with psychedelic rockers (Lost Souls), pseudo R&B players (the Hassles) and a prog-metal duo (Attila). It's all here. What this collection reveals is that despite his fairly consistent mainstream output the singer never stopped experimenting. There is a reggae version of "Only The Good Die Young," a soulful reading of Leonard Cohen's "Light as the Breeze," supper club jazz with Duke Ellington's "In A Sentimental Mood," even classical interludes from his later years. There's room to grumble about what did and didn't make the cut, particularly with the stray album cuts, but this is a great testament to the range and restless spirit of the songwriter. The DVD features a 1993 concert filmed in Hamburg. --Aidin Vaziri
