There is a rumor going around in the Billy Joel fan communtity that he has a new album on the way... THIS year. March to be exact. The single is out on radio already, and will be available for purchase on the 27th of next month. It is said that the album will follow soon after on the sixth of March, but that it could also end up being later on in the month.
If the new of an album is true, this is some of the best news I've heard in a while!
It was about friggin' time that Billy Joel put out some new material.
14 years without a studio album and 10 without any brand new songs. It was time to put down the bottle and record something.
Very, very awesome. Last I've heard of him was in 1997 when he did that concert with Garth Brooks and Don McLean. That was grand, I think I have a tape of it.

Only a little (piss-poor quality) snippet. It's pretty though. It has kind of a 'Baby Grand' feel to it. If I can find your e-mail address, I'll send it to you.
