EP 097 - Album Retrospective: My Lives Disc 1

The My Lives box set is a curious addition to the Billy Joel discography. The four-CD / one-DVD set, released in 2005, is a mix of unreleased demos, alternate takes, live recordings, cover songs, and a handful of album tracks. 

 

At the time, it was the first glimpse many fans got at unreleased material and songs-in-progress. The first disc, in particular, offers a chronological journey from Billy’s earliest solo compositions through his hitmaking reign in the late 70s. 

 

We’re exploring that first disc in real-time for this episode. You’ll hear our reactions and annotations to the tracks as they play, and get our overall impression of the release. 

 

Join us as we dig deep into disc one of the My Lives box set.
