Yeah, that sounds like Billy Joel alright.

I don't think it's THAT special, if not for it being his first in 16 years and a bit.

I wonder if using the piano chords and melody to "always a woman" was intentional as a throw back?

I just listened to it and learned something.
I learned that Billy Joel and Billie Joe Armstrong sound similar.

I reckon all songs are folk songs. I ain't never heard no horses singing any.

I liked that a lot. Kind of like hearing from an old friend after a long time.

Well, there is only one L difference between them.

It's #2 on iTunes now! Right behind the #1 rapper right now.

I love Billy Joel. This is good, but part of me wants him to be a #ClassicPrick and release something upbeat and trite like "Tell Her About It Part II" after 17 years to piss everyone off.

On a side note, if you want to feel some instant nostalgia, play "You're Only Human," which went top-10 in 1985, but is kinda forgotten now.
