About this listen
Billy Joel's 1977 album, The Stranger, is an iconic recording that seems built around Joel's raconteur style. This collection of songs is a masterclass in songwriting. In the cinematic journey that is "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant", he gives his audience a window into the story of a couple who had it all, only to end up separated after some difficult trials.
In the album, however, Joel is not only narrating the story of someone else - like in the aforementioned "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" and in the song "Moving Out (Anthony's Song)" - he also turns the lens on himself with the track "Vienna".
Enett and Marco provide their insights on these songs in this episode. They also sample a bottle of white, a bottle of red and a bottle of rosé, exploring the memories, emotions and stories behind Billy Joel's most beloved album.
