レビュー
Amazon.co.jp 50、60年代のオールディーズやモータウンサウンドをベースに、ビリー・ジョエルらしいラブソングを展開した作品。アカペラコーラスグループ風の<3>では、低音から高音まですべてのパートをこなす器用さも披露している。 <6>は当時つき合っていたスーパーモデル、クリスティ・ブリンスキーに捧げたものだ。のちに結婚し、アルバム『リヴァー・オブ・ドリームス』では、ジャケットデザインを彼女が手がけるなど、おしどり夫婦ぶりを見せた。が、その矢先に突然離婚し、間髪入れずにクリスティは富豪と再婚。この曲は封印したという話も聞くが…。(春野丸緒) --このテキストは、 CD版に関連付けられています。
Amazon.com essential recording Fittingly for an album celebrating early- to mid-'60s pop and blue-eyed soul, An Innocent Man (1983) spun off six hit singles. Between the social concerns of The Nylon Curtain and this record's bopping tempos and blaring horns, Joel was at a peak of craftsmanship--the ultimate proof perhaps being the Chipmunks' rendition of "The Longest Time," which did absolutely nothing to diminish the song's winning charm. Much of America's enduring affection for Joel stems from this disc, and rightly so. --Rickey Wright --このテキストは、 CD版に関連付けられています。
From Amazon.co.uk He may have made his name as one of those strangely genre-resistant singer-songwriters of the 70s, but Billy Joel's pedigree in pop dates back at least a decade prior to 1973's breakthrough Piano Man album. In 1964, Joel's prowess on Hammond organ even saw him playing on The Shangri-Las' "Leader Of The Pack". It was to these fledgling years in pop that Joel looked for inspiration when recording the most successful album of his career. To spend an afternoon in the company of An Innocent Man is to transport yourself to a New York diner in the early 60s, not a care in the world beyond waiting for your date to turn up. And when it works, it's positively life-affirming. "Uptown Girl" is surely the finest song The Four Seasons never recorded, while "The Longest Time" and "Leave A Tender Moment Alone" offer a humane return to the thrill of young love. Less successful are a couple of forays in more R&B influenced material (Joel doesn't quite have the voice for it) but never again did he quite sound like he was having this much fun. --Peter Paphides
