4.5 superbCRX | February 13th 16

Revisiting songs from his first creating period, Joel crafts one of the best live albums to date. Easily surpassing the studio versions, the performances are delivered with such authority that transform them, without any delay, in definitive versions.
From the science-fictional vibes that introduce Miami 2017 (Seen The Light Go Out On Broadway), or the vitality of Everybody Loves You Now to the simplicity of She's Got A Way and You're My Home, Songs From The Attic highlights the journey that Joel had to make in order to become one of the most influential entertainers of the 20th century.

For me, this makes me wonder what would have happened if Joel had had his band and Phil Ramone in the studio for his first 4 albums. I think Turnstiles might have been his breakthrough album instead of The Stranger. From the first cut to the last, this album is strong. An underrated classic. I'd love to see an expanded version of this released in the near future.

Actually the first Billy Joel record I ever got. As someone who generally doesn't like live records, the fact that I span this so much and it led me to so much more of his stuff is a real testament to the strength of the performance.
