![]() Not having new material however isn’t something which is holding Billy Joel back and in fact his career is very much alive and well. However as the landscape of music began to change Billy Joel didn’t attempt to reinvent himself and in fact aside from a 2001 release which consisted of classical compositions, he hasn’t released a new album since 1993’s River of Dreams. ![]() While his style certainly didn’t fit in with the barrage of New Wave bands that populated the channel in its early days there seemed to always be something about his music which still managed to lure in fans. This however isn’t true of everyone.īilly Joel first began his solo career in the early 70’s having been a member of bands such as Attila and The Hasseles prior but for many of us who grew up in the years of the dawning of a certain music channel, it was the 80’s which introduced many of us to his music. Often their efforts to reinvigorate their careers with new albums is met with scorn from critics and fans alike who would much rather enjoy the music of their glory years rather than some paltry attempt to stay relevant. An artist who is popular today may be little more than a fading start in five or ten years and while some may find the ability to hang on to their fan base and perhaps even increase it in later years, that certainly isn’t true of all of them. The music industry is something which is constantly changing. ![]() Billy Joel at Moda Center: An Evening with the Piano Man / Photo gallery & reviewīy MIKE LEWIS // Billy Joel plays the hits at a sold-out Moda Center in Portland.
