Punto MuertoBruce Springsteen - Born To RunBruce Springsteen escuchó por primera vez la mezcla final de Born to Run, su tercer álbum de estudio, en un hotel en Kutztown, Pensilvania, al final de una agotadora sesión de grabación de 14 meses.
Lo odió tanto que tiró la cinta a la piscina del hotel.
Fue un momento decisivo en la carrera del joven músico.
El largo y arduo proceso que finalmente condujo a Born to Run comenzó en 1974.
La escena musical estadounidense estaba cambiando, a medida que el rock daba paso a la música disco, el punk comenzaba a nacer y los tenues susurros del rap s...

The OpusBilly Joel and Producer Phil Ramone Captured Collaborative Magic on The StrangerThe Stranger wasn't only Billy Joel’s critical breakthrough, but it was the start of a decade-long creative partnership with producer Phil Ramone. Together, the two created some of the most lasting songs in music, and it all began with those first sessions in the summer of 1977.Joel had a specific vision for what would be his fifth studio album, and that meant finding the right person to work the boards. It wasn't until Ramone -- known then for hits like "It's My Party" in the '60s and working with Paul Simon in the '70s...

The OpusBilly Joel Reintroduced Himself to the World with The StrangerThe Stranger was Billy Joel's fifth album, but in some ways, it felt like his debut because it’s the album that catapulted him to superstardom. Before its release, he’d had a radio hit with "Piano Man," but his genius was hampered by a string of overly slick producers who didn’t connect with his musical vision. But all that started to change leading up to The Stranger. With no hits to his name, his own wife as a manager, and a refusal to work with big-name producers, Joel finally had a chance to make an album on his ow...

And, when it came to many of Billy Joel’s most iconic albums, the person responsible for shaping much of their sound was Jim. Billy Joel, along with the Lords of 52nd Street and others put some great performances down on tape working with producer Phil Ramone and his crew. And, a crucial member of that tea...
