Notes
'Joel's Breakthrough Record Loaded With Smash Hits: 'Movin' Out (Anthony's Song),' 'Just the Way You Are,' 'Only the Good Die Young,' 'She's Always a Woman'. Billy Joel entered 1977 with a great track record but in need of a breakthrough. Pairing with producer Phil Ramone (Carly Simon, Simon & Garfunkel), who developed the requisite ingredients missing from Joel's formula, the singer-songwriter became a household name and chart-topping success courtesy of The Stranger. Ranked 67 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and certified ten-times platinum, Joel's artistic and commercial smash remains a pop-rock benchmark. Better still, it now sounds astonishing. An integral part of Mobile Fidelity's Billy Joel catalog restoration series, The Stranger is mastered from the original master tapes and made available on transparent hybrid SACD. Far superior to previous reissues, this edition emphasizes the crucial touches and insightful techniques Ramone brought to a batch of material that ranks among Joel's most clever, catchy, and sagacious. Whereas a handful of Joel's preceding efforts feature a near-flawless mix of melodic arrangements and poignant lyrics, the aspects he sought in order to graduate into a more serious artist arrive here via Ramone's more muscular, fleshed-out, and rock-enabling production. The streamlined approach slightly strips back the sweeping developments heard on Piano Man and Turnstiles, and on this edition, lays bare the core of the material, allowing the vocalist's bittersweet yearning, rollicking 88 notes, and working-class conviction to emanate with full-bodied detail, vivid color, and grand-scale dynamics. A Grammy winner for both Record and Song of the Year, 'Just the Way You Are' epitomizes Joel's balladic reach, his ability to transfer wistful sentiments and lovelorn emotions. He also flashes a mean streak. The animated 'Only the Good Die Young' bounces and hops to an updated classic-R&B rhythm and, underneath it's beauty, 'She's Always A Woman' hints at trouble underfoot. And then there's the New York-centric, character-rich poetry of the vignettes. Akin to many of his influences, Joel nails the grit, personality, specificity, descriptiveness, and behavior of protagonists that populate 'Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)' and 'Scenes From an Italian Restaurant,' each equally at home on The Stranger as well as on a Broadway play or on a golden-era Hollywood film soundtrack. No wonder that, just months after it's original release, Joel was no longer a stranger to any of the music-loving public. He would never look back.
