THE REVIEW
I have no words. I hadn't realized there was a lack of a review for the album in question. Although I had already noticed the shortage of writings dedicated to none other than the good old Billy the Kid, I hadn't yet noticed this gap.
Yet his production was quite prolific. On a qualitative level, then, the first part is at least worth knowing.
It is also true that, "Piano Man," at times (!) seems only a slightly more mature continuation of the debut (which I personally appreciate a lot), but the outgoing "Captain Jack," to name one, is enough to make it a great album.
Joel deserved more attention, both on DeBaser and in Italy.
Come on. Get yourself this album and come break my incisors if it's not to your liking.
Should I have written a review? Maybe. I should have at least found one. At least one.
