By 1976, Billy Joel had proven his merit as an auteur of California-based singer-songwriter pop-rock. On Turnstiles, the legend focuses his attention on more ambitious matters: Making an album whose scope and range dwarf that of his previous work, and shot his star into the stratosphere. Encompassing everything from urgent rock to soft pop and saloon fare, Turnstiles is a classic of major proportions.
Mobile Fidelity has gone back to the original master tapes
to present Joel’s encompassing music the way it was always intended to be
experienced: Intimate, detailed, expressive, warm. The record’s widescreen
sonics are at last properly cinematic, flush with colors, textures, and
atmosphere.
Progressing away from sensitivity, Joel casts his eye
towards broader horizons. For him, that meant moving from the West Coast back
to his native New York and embracing the city’s doo-wop, Broadway, and R&B
heritage. Joel’s diversity comes through in a spectacle of memorable tunes,
including the infectious “All You Wanna Do Is Dance,” acerbic “Angry Young
Man,” and gorgeous “I’ve Loved These Days.”
Still, no song better illustrates the allure—and breadth—of
Turnstiles more than “Say Goodbye to Hollywood,” bathed in the sort of fabulous
Phil Spector sound, huge drum echoes, and Brill Building orchestral sweep that
Joel grew up on. Similarly, the sprawling ballad “New York State of Mind”
clearly states the singer’s vision and mood. On the definitive track, Joel
luxuriates in full string accompaniment and soulful saxophone playing that
gives the pop standard its foundation. Not for nothing did Joel insist on
keeping his touring band for the album, a decision that resulted in the firing
of the record’s original producer.
Supported by talents such as arranger Kenny Ascher,
guitarist James Herb Smith, and percussionist Mingo Lewis, Joel succeeds in
wrapping his head around a rich swath of American pop music, stopping by way of
New Orleans, Kansas City, Memphis, Chicago, and other cities on his way from
California back to the Garden State. While lacking the fame of the subsequent
The Stranger and 52nd Street, Turnstiles is in every way their equal.
Finally, the delicate nuances of Joel’s phrasing, pregnant
pauses, and introspective emotion can be experienced in three-dimensional
fidelity. In addition, the spectrum of the orchestra’s power and finesse,
ravishing poignancy of the lyrics, and bittersweet qualities of the melodies
bloom with unforced immediacy. The previous veiled sonic character and
stultifying dryness have been corrected, presenting Joel and his crack band
with illuminating precision and feeling.
Turnstiles has never sounded better—and it never will
