Title: Billy at his peak
Review: Songs in the Attic is a wonderful glimpse at a performer at his peak. Coming off of the huge commercial success of Glass Houses and 52nd Street, Billy changes gears completely. Instead of releasing a live album that recycles his more recent hits, he dusts off some of his earlier work and presents it to us in a live setting.You can see in these performances the brilliance and passion of an artist who is completely committed to his material. Whether it be the intimacy of "You're My Home" performed in a small club or the intensity of "Captain Jack" in a large arena, each performance seems perfectly set in the appropriate venue.Billy Joel is at his absolute best here. I particularly recommend "Songs" to the fan who has only seen Billy in his more mundane concerts of the last few years, often paired with Elton John. This album shows you a performer at his creative peak.
