Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast

EP 017 - Album Retrospective: Streetlife Serenade

Listen Later

1974 saw Billy Joel back in the studio mere months after 1973's Piano Man.  Billy wasn't ready for a new album but pushed his way through to complete Streetlife Serenade which was released October 11, 1974 on Columbia Records.

 

The album peaked at #35 on the album charts and featured the single "The Entertainer," which is the sole song that has gotten a significant amount of live performances since its release.

 

Michael & Jack discuss this often forgotten and under documented album and shed some light on some lesser known gems.



They also go song by song through the album and discuss each track and their reflections on each.
