Billy Joel - Leningrad

Review by Laura Gwyn

The album Leningrad by Billy Joel is a masterpiece that showcases the artist's exceptional songwriting and musical talent. The album was released in 1989, and it contains some of the most memorable tracks of the decade.

The album's title track, "Leningrad," is a poignant tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. The song tells the story of a young boy who grows up in the Soviet Union during the Cold War and dreams of becoming a musician. The track is a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and bring people together.

Other standout tracks on the album include "We Didn't Start the Fire," a fast-paced, history lesson set to music, and "That's Not Her Style," a heartfelt ballad about a failed relationship. The album also features the hit single "The Downeaster Alexa," a song about the struggles of Long Island fishermen.
