River of Dreams

River of Dreams

At the age of 44, Billy Joel dug deep into his life for one of his most personal albums. On “All About Soul,” he delivers a stirring ode to devotion through thick and thin; on “Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel),” he plays a hypnotic piano melody and croons soothing sentiments to his young daughter. The former boxer jabs at a friend’s betrayal on “The Great Wall of China,” then floats like a butterfly with the jubilation, percussion, and gospel-meets-doo-wop harmonies of “The River of Dreams.”
