Turnstiles

Product Information

The songs were first recorded at Caribou Ranch (near Nederland, Colorado), with members of Elton John's band ( Nigel Olsson on drums and Dee Murray on bass) and produced by Chicago producer James William Guercio. Dissatisfied with the results, Joel took over as producer and returned to New York, where he re-recorded the album from start to finish, with his own touring band, which consisted of Long Island musicians Richie Cannata and the members of the band Topper: Liberty DeVitto, Russell Javors, Howie Emerson, [1] and Doug Stegmeyer. Turnstiles marked the first time that Joel's band played on one of his studio albums. If you love Billy Joel, this record needs love too. Not a lot of hits, but "New York State of Mind" is good enough. And that youthful voice of his will change by the next record.

The previous 3 albums all built on each other as Joel’s songwriting became more consistent. While I love Streetlife Serenade, I think this is his first great album. Strong effort start to finish and sets the stage for, arguably his greatest album, The Stranger and the run of multi-platinum albums to come.Barbra Streisand covered " New York State of Mind" on her album Superman, released in the Spring of 1977, opening up Billy Joel's music to a mainstream audience. He thanked her for the exposure, and also told her his New York relatives were duly impressed to have the Queen of Brooklyn cover one of his songs. The album cover photo was shot in the uptown platform of the New York City Subway's Astor Place station. According to Joel, each of the characters on the album cover was meant to represent a particular song (e.g., the girl in headphones for "All You Wanna Do is Dance", the wealthy couple for "I've Loved These Days").

Joel says he didn’t make The Stranger like it was his last shot at success, but it’s hard to see it any other way. Famously, Joel likes to say that he didn’t want to put the biggest song on the album. “That’s one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard,” Linda Ronstadt apparently told Joel after hearing “Just the Way You Are” in the studio. A lot of people have since agreed with her, including those at the Recording Academy, which gave Joel the Grammys for Record and Song of the Year.
