Taking keys from the Doo Whop filled 50s, Billy Joel returns to his childhood to give us some of his most wholesome material in his entire catalog.

AN INNOCENT MAN is a very retro-sounding pop/rock album that spotlights Joel as a vocalist, rather than a piano player. As much as I'm not a fan of this sort of Pop radio fare, I won't deny that it's a fine record for what it is. It's hard not to think of MTV years when hearing so many of the singles this album contains. Still, this change in direction made me a bit less attentive the albums that followed.

This album is meant to emulate the music of Joel's childhood- an intention that often leads to cover albums- a premise that would certainly leave me skeptical of the quality of this album. Albums of this sort are rarely good, but Billy Joel really does make it work with An Innocent Man.

Billy Joel lets his slightly older sound remain for An Innocent Man. Though it isn't without the upbeat feel from which was on the seldom side during The Stranger, this helps make it a good, straightforwardly entertaining package. Even with a lack of solid piano work and excelling tracks, it's hard to not enjoy the usual, magical vibe that Joel exhibits.

I love Joel's style on this album! Quite a few great songs as well, such as The Longest Time, Easy Money, Careless Talk, and Keeping The Faith.
