With Michael Omartian’s arrangements weaving accordion and banjo into the mix, songs like \"Travelin' Prayer\" and \"Captain Jack\" show Joel’s knack for painting characters and scenes with a sharp, empathetic brush. The album’s artwork, illustrated by Bill Imhoff and photographed by Beverly Parker, reflects its intimate, narrative-driven spirit without resorting to flash. This 1973 vinyl pressing brings that focused listening experience to your turntable with very clean vinyl showing only minor, light surface marks that won’t distract from play. The engineering by Ron and Roy Malo ensures the acoustic ensemble feels immediate, and the lacquer cut by Barry helps retain detail across the grooves. For those who appreciate Joel’s early work before his pop-rock anthems took center stage, this copy offers a clear window into his formative sound, carried on a pressing that’s as straightforward as the songs themselves—no frills, just the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection data-track-listing=\"true\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTrack listing \u0026amp; samples\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBilly Joel - Piano Man\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTravelin' Prayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiano Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't No Crime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're My Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ballad Of Billy The Kid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorse Comes To Worst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop In Nevada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Only Had The Words\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhere Along The Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptain Jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embeds\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AzQkFoUHlqA\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sample-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/77ErLrVvYETIlQJHAwhfIH\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:152px;border:0;border-radius:12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Den Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"VG++ \/ VG+ \/ 1973","offer_id":67677658906940,"sku":"DEN00001216","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/9932\/2684\/files\/MjMtMzEwNy5qcGVn.jpg?v=1792104736","url":"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/products\/billy-joel-piano-man-lp-101526-den00001216","provider":"The Den New Hope PA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
