In my opinion this is Billy Joel's best album. 'An Innocent Man' is Billy Joel's tribute to a genre of music that he constantly speaks of with affection; the doo-wop and soul music of his youth in New York City. It has a big 50's feel to it with fresh sounds.

The album starts off with 'Easy Money', a nice rock track which was also the title song to the 1983 movie starring Rodney Dangerfield.

'An Innocent Man' and 'The Longest Time' are 'old skool' R&B.

'This Night' is a ballad that is beautifully constructed.

'Tell Her About It' and 'Uptown Girl' were both hits that are played at clubs throughout the land and are great party tracks.

'Careless Talk' is funky and upbeat.
"Christie Lee" is a piano/saxophone/drums combo which has great lyrics but is still possibly the weakest track on the album.

'Leave a Tender Moment Alone' is a beautiful ballad and one of my all time fave tracks.

'Keeping the Faith' is a upbeat pop song about Billy reciting his younger days.

As an extra bonus the CD I had inlcuded two video clips of Billy Joel playing 'Leave a Tender Moment alone' and 'careless talk'.

Overall I would recommend this album to anyone, there is something there for everyone and in my opinion makes it almost timeless. A true classic!
