Everything about Songs In The Attic totally explained
Songs in the Attic is the first live album by
Billy Joel, released in 1981 (see
1981 in music).
At the time of its release, it was unique as being the first widely available appearance of music from his first album,
Cold Spring Harbor from 1971. Two songs from the album, "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" and "She's Got a Way," were released as singles, both making the top 25.
This album was released in 1981 to introduce Billy Joel's early work to fans who had come to know him after
The Stranger, according to liner notes written by Joel. In his earlier work, most of the instruments were played by session musicians, but by the late 1970s, Joel had a fairly consistent touring group, and so wanted to showcase the songs with this band: "...'Captain Jack' plays with much more power and conviction when a roaring Philadelphia audience sets off a kind of internal explosion and the adrenaline screams through our veins..." wrote Joel.
