Turnstiles (1976)

"His fourth album "Turnstiles"(1976) marked Billy Joels return to his hometown of New York, after his previous two albums "Piano Man" and "Streetlife Serenade" were recorded in glitzy Los Angeles. Listening to "Turnstiles" it is clear that Joel felt right at home in the Big Apple (with New York State Of Mind) whilst closing the chapter on his California days (Say Goodbye To Hollywood). With solid back up from his tried and true touring band, "Turnstiles" is an all-killer-no-filler set of eight songs pop classic. From Sinatra to Springsteen, this Beatle-esque troubadour coasts along with a wide variety of Pop styles with the result truly Joels own." (Bertus / MOV)
