TC’s Time Capsule: Unearthing Glass Houses by Billy Joel
This week, TC and Craigo crack open another musical vault, and inside, they find a true rock classic—Billy Joel’s Glass Houses. Released in 1980, this album saw Joel step away from his signature piano-driven sound to embrace a harder, edgier rock style. Fueled by raw energy and a rebellious spirit, Glass Houses delivered some of his biggest hits, including You May Be Right, It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me, and Don’t Ask Me Why.
From its opening sound of breaking glass to its infectious hooks and lyrical wit, Glass Houses was Joel’s way of proving he could do more than just ballads—he could rock with the best of them. The album was a massive success, topping the charts and earning him a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. But beyond the hits, there are deep cuts that showcase his versatility and sharp storytelling.
Join TC and Craigo as they spin the record, break down the songs, and explore the impact Glass Houses had on Billy Joel’s career and rock music as a whole. Was it a bold reinvention or just a natural evolution? Tune in to TC’s Time Capsule and find out as they relive this moment in music history!
