In full disclosure….the Management Team are not huge Billy Joel fans. But amongst the hundred or so songs he has written are some eliciting great emotion and this is by far the best. From The Nylon Curtain album of 1982:

Also not a Billy Joel fan but agree Allentown is pretty good.
Not fond of the MTV style video.
I’m a big Billy Joel fan who always loved his lyrics and original sound. But “Allentown” isn’t one of my favorites especially with his words painting such a sad blue-collar story.
Thanks Kasey and Jack. It’s not a happy song but it’s historically true and we’ve found the music to be powerfully written and performed. Appreciate you commenting!
