Billy Joel's Greatest Hits, Volume 3 rounds out the collection of his biggest and best songs. Of course, a complete Billy Joel collection would include more than this CD and Volumes 1 and 2; but you do get a lot for your money with this third album of hits.
"Keeping The Faith" has an awesome, funky beat with great percussion as Billy sings this out strong. "A Matter Of Trust" is much more of a true rock and roll song with a side dish of pop; Billy sings this brilliantly without a superfluous note. This song about the importance of trust in a love affair hits home for me and many other people I have talked with about this song. Moreover, "Baby Grand" is a stunning duet that has Billy team up with the immortal Ray Charles. They sing and play their two pianos flawlessly; and the key changes throughout the song make this a remarkably fine ballad.
"We Didn't Start The Fire" rocks hard as Billy sings to reflect how the world has always been busy with both good and horrific events; the "fire" represents historic events both great and awful. "I Go To Extremes" features Billy rocking out loud as he sings this awesome number about manic-depression. The melody rocks and Billy Joel never sounded better!
"Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" is a tender piece that impresses me greatly; and "Hey Girl" is another unblemished performance with a soul/R&B approach by Billy Joel. The album ends beautifully with "Light As The Breeze;" Billy sings this with sensitivity and panache.
The liner notes include the lyrics and the artwork is very nicely done.
Billy Joel's fans will like this album. This CD is also well suited for a casual Billy Joel fan who doesn't want to purchase every single Billy Joel CD out there. However, as some other reviewers have noted, some songs are still missing from all three albums of Billy Joel's "greatest hits." For example, where is "Modern Woman?" Where is "Honesty?" What about "Sometimes A Fantasy?" However, the third "greatest hits" Billy Joel album is so strong even on its own that I will give it five stars anyway.
A more complete collection that the three "greatest hits" albums would be the CD set entitled "Billy Joel: Complete Hits Collection".
