Billy Joel’s 7th studio album, Glass Houses, crashed onto the scene on March 12, 1980, with Joel literally smashing a window on the cover as a warning shot: he was ready to rock harder. Trading his balladeer reputation for a leaner, guitar-driven sound, Joel tapped into the energy of rock, new wave, and power pop — proving he could stand toe-to-toe with the younger acts of the era.
The gamble paid off. Glass Houses shot to No.1 on the Billboard charts, won Joel a Grammy for Album of the Year, and delivered some of his most enduring hits. Singles like the rollicking ‘You May Be Right’ and the razor-sharp ‘It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me’ showed a sharper, brasher side of the Piano Man — one that still sounds fresh today.
Includes: ‘You May Be Right,’ ‘It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.’
