A Soundtrack for Midlife
River of Dreams is a collection of retrospective, introspective songs. I just celebrated my 38th birthday, which may explain why I like this album so much. Shades of Grey sounds like a mature version of Angry Young Man. No Man's Land looks at what our consumer-driven society has brought about. The Great Wall of China is a lament of opportunities lost, while Lullabye is a hopeful vision of who were are. A wonderful, thoughtful mix.


A Beautiful Heartfelt Album
It is full of depth and feeling, also of closure. This is one of my favorite Billy Joel Albums. I think each of his abums he has ever put out sets a theme and this one is no different. This is is a retrospective of his life at that time. Divorce to Christy and love for Alexa. A time of change, especially apparent in the last song. "Famous last words. " The Lyrics are profound. This is a must for any one who likes Billy's music, for it is a true work of art.


Love this CD
Although there were a few songs on here that I never heard before I really enjoyed it. I added this to my Billy Joel collection and I am very glad that I did. .


POOR SELLER
When I contacted them they were very childish about the matter and blamed everyone but themselves. The seller did not have this item to sell and never mailed it.
