When i first heard about this album all i heard was, "Wow this one wasn't the Billy I know." "They messed this one up." THese coming from freinds and family. I dissagree. When i first listened to this album i heard great songs and Billy's original songs. I thought this album was great! Tommorow Is Today is my favorite song on the album and is great! If all you hear from people about Cold Spring Harbor is "THis one wasn't a 52nd Street" take it from me, this album is a great example of the musician who is the Piano Man.
This is my favorite CD because it's before he really made it and became a polished performer. The songs just speak to me. They seem much deeper than some of the hits. "Got To Begin Again" & "Tomorrow is Today" are my favorites off of the album. It wasn't until I recently read his first bio that I realized it was inspired by his suicide note. The songs are so powerful!
This is probably my favourite Billy Joel album, I think it has some of his most meaningful and inventive lyrics. I like all his stuff, but this is Billy Joel at his best. My favourite song on this album is probably "you can make me free", but I love them all.
