Podcasts about nylon curtain

Op de dag van de publicatie van deze podcast, zaterdag 7 juni, zou Leo Blokhuis met de grootste Billy Joel-fan die hij kent, zijn zoon Otis, naar een optreden van hun held in Edinburgh gaan. Maar Joel is ziek, vooralsnog is dat concert een jaar uitgesteld. In deze podcast gaat Blokhuis terug naar Joel's meest succesvoole periode: de vroege jaren 80. Hij bespreekt drie studioalbums, met elk een heel specifiek karakter: Glass Houses, The Nylon Curtain en An Innocent Man, platen die veel van Billy's gemoedstoestand tijdens het maken weergeven.

The Nylon Curtain was released on September 23, 1982 - wow 40 years ago. And with 40 years behind it has become an absolute fan favorite. Besides the massive hit of Allentown, this album is a very strange, and yet very musically complex masterpiece for the true Billy Joel fan. Considered Billy Joel's "Sgt. Pepper" The Nylon Curtain is a concept album that was nominated for Album of the Year and a critical favorite 40 years ago and now. So let's dissect it as we bring in the great Paul Loren who will do some amazing covers from the album and break down the beauty of what could be considered, in a different way of The Stranger, Billy Joel's OTHER masterpiece.

Where's the Orchestra? Possibly considered Billy's best work by a multitude of musicians and fans. The final song off of 1982's The Nylon Curtain. A brilliant song about an idiot who goes to a Broadway show and didn't realize it's a musical. I mean. . . . Come On!! BUT, that being said, it sure is a terrific pretty song with lots of different meanings. A true Billy Hidden Gem. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy New Year everyone. Today on this episode of Billy Joel A to Z we are discussing the song Through the Long Night, which is the tenth and final song on the great 1980 album, Glass Houses. This Beatlesque song could be a pre-cursor to the entire next album, which is The Nylon Curtain. The song is based on a Picasso painting which means it's a big old mess.

The Nylon Curtain turned 40 last September, and we can't help but take one last look at it as we start the new year.      Back in September, we did our album spotlight where we discussed the history and making of the album along with our track-by-track commentary. This time, we're speaking with two people who helped make the album into the classic we all know today.      Our guests for this episode are Larry Franke and Bradsahw Leigh. Both were engineers at A&R Recording where Billy worked with Phil Ramone to produce his string of hit albums from the late 70s through the mid-80s.      Larry and Brad were involved with many of those records. And, for this episode, they're taking us through what it was like creating Billy Joel's most sonically ambitious album.      You'll hear about the studio tricks they used for sound effects, how they used analog effects well before today's digital plugins, and how the band and studio crew went about fulfilling Billy's goal of making an album inspired by the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's.      With track-by-track commentary, stories from the sessions, and deep dives into the recording technology of the day, it's the closest you can get to being a fly on the wall of the live room and mixing booth back in 1982.     Join us for another look behind The Nylon Curtain.   ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing    

Sometimes the best part of a big meal is the leftovers. There's nothing like taking a little bit of everything from the night before, heating it up, and settling in for a second round. And, for the second year in a row, just in time for the holidays, that's what we're doing here at Glass Houses.      This is our second Odds and Ends episode, where we take pieces of conversations from the year that got left on the cutting room floor. We hear so many great stories from the people we interview that we can't fit them all into each episode.      This year, we've got two dishes of second helpings. The first is from our interview with Steve Cohen, Billy's longtime lighting director, and Jon Small, who's been involved with Billy since the late 60s. They'll share stories of how they began working with Billy, including some never-before-heard stories from their youth.      Next is a sneak peek of our upcoming episode about The Nylon Curtain. Here, engineer Bradshaw Leigh talks about reconstructing the album for an ATMOS enhanced audio mix this year. He also gives a few behind-the-scenes stories from his time at A&R Recording with Billy and Phil Ramone. And, you'll hear his thoughts on the music business back then and what it's like now.      So throw on your sweatpants, uncork that half-empty bottle of wine, and settle in for a helping of odds and ends from some of our favorite interviews of 2022.      ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing    

Did you know there's a connection between Billy Joel and one of the most popular cartoons of the 1980s?      We didn't know either until a few weeks ago.      Recently, Michael and I interviewed Larry Franke, who was second engineer on Songs in the Attic and the Nylon Curtain. During the conversation, Larry mentioned that, after working with Billy and Phil Ramone, he worked on the cartoon Thundercats, which ran in syndication from 1985 to 1989.      During the show's run, that cartoon was about as big a deal to me as Billy Joel - maybe even more (Hey, I was in elementary school).      And, hearing that Larry was an integral part of one of my favorite childhood shows meant I couldn't pass up the opportunity to hear more about it.    We'll hear Larry's memories of working with Billy in a few weeks. For my playlist episode this year, however, I'm doing something a little different.      Instead of playing songs I worked on or by artists I really enjoy, I spoke with Larry and Anthony Gioveniello, who was on the production staff and occasionally directed episodes, about how they put together 130 episodes over four years.      If you're around my age and remember rushing home from school every afternoon to catch the latest adventures on Third Earth, you'll love this intimate look at how a piece of your childhood was made.      And, even if you're too young, or too old, or just weren't into the show, you'll still enjoy the stories, behind-the-scenes information, and the memories of how important the show was for Larry and Anthony - not only for their careers, but also for the fun they had and the close friends they made during the show's run.    ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor   Produced by Michael Grosvenor & Jack Firneno for Groove Music Marketing

On the 40th anniversary of his best album's release, Rich and Danny spend the entire show talking about their guy, Billy Joel. The Nylon Curtain is an underrated album to the uninformed, and the boys do their best to bring the exquisite merits of that album to the masses.

The Nylon Curtain wasn't nearly as popular as Billy Joel's albums just before and after this release. But, it still spawned a handful of hits, classics, and perennial fan favorites and concert staples. And today, it's regarded by fans and critics as Billy's most accomplished artistic statement.   Released in 1982, The Nylon Curtain came just after the string of smash hit albums from The Stranger in 1977 through Glass Houses in 1980, and the live Songs In the Attic that rewrote his early work.   And, it was released less than a year before An Innocent Man would race up the charts and capture a new generation of fans.   In contrast to the harder-edged rock of Glass Houses and the bouncy fun of An Innocent Man, The Nylon Curtain is a thoughtful, occasionally dark, and sonically adventurous affair.   It's often lauded as his most Beatlesque album. And, it's certainly one of Billy's most thoughtful releases as he tackles war, aging, and social dilemmas throughout its nine songs.   Join us as we take a long look behind The Nylon Curtain.    ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com     Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T   Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor  

Welcome to the finale of the letter "S" in Billy Joel world. Today's episode is entitled Surprises and it is the 7th track of of 1982's The Nylon Curtain. Break all the records, burn the cassettes - Elizabeth Webber gets Nothing! Yes, another EW song but this is it. After she bought papers for him to sign everything over to her in the wake of a horrific motorcycle accident Billy wrote this song about how people's eventual true colors shouldn't surprise you. Following She's Always a Woman, you'd think he'd be prepared. But. . . . This is a great hidden gem. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This is the second installment of our two-part series covering Billy Joel's television appearances from 1980 through 1984. While the bulk of the spots we've covered so far found him promoting The Nylon Curtain, the latter batch has him on the promotional trail for the An Innocent Man album and addressing his tabloid notoriety with then-girlfriend, soon-to-be wife Christie Brinkley.    Join us as we continue digging deep into Billy Joel's television appearances from 1980 to 1984.   Watch the videos HERE.   ------   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com     Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/6G6cMRFu7T     Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor  

"Some of those people who came through my first day at A&R, Steely Dan was recording Gaucho. Dressed to Kill, which was a very big film, and Annie, the musical Annie was being recorded in studio A1, and Paul Simon had just finished One-Trick Pony, and Billy Joel had just finished Glass Houses and was launching into his Nylon Curtain album.There was nowhere else you would want to be, but A&R Recording were four rooms going 24 hours a day, and to be part of that... And that - a moment where I closed my eyes - is because that is the time when I removed myself from the verbal idea and actually try to explain to you what the purpose is of my job, which is to channel and be of service to music and to understand every aspect of music, no matter how many years that takes, be part of another creative process and to have your own creative process as a person who is channeling other people's music.”Cynthia Daniels is a Grammy and Emmy award-winning producer, engineer and composer working extensively in film, television, and music.

Today we tackle our third song in a row that begins with the pronoun “She”. AND, our third song in a row about Billy's first wife, the good time Charlie that is Elizabeth Webber. She's Right on Time kicks off the second side of The Nylon Curtain, which came out on September 23, 1982. Billy wrote this song with a Christmas theme instead of making an entire schmaltzy holiday album. Although never released as a single, there's is an amazing music video for it. Billy Joel himself says this is his second favorite song of all time behind Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. Really? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When Billy Joel's The Nylon Curtain was released into the world in the fall of 1982, it was considered one of his most ambitious albums to date.    Despite the rich layer and textures of the album's sonic landscape, many of the songs translated to a live setting with apparent ease. The Nylon Curtain saw our first glimpse of many of these songs on stage. While the singles "Allentown," "Pressure," and "Goodnight Saigon" quickly became staples, the remaining 6 would become the elusive deep cut that would be a treat on the rare occasions they'd make their way to a setlist.   For this playlist episode, Michael is presenting The Nylon Curtain Live Through The Years... in album sequence, hear the entire album spanning nearly 40 years of live performances.   Track listing: Allentown (Live From Long Island - December 29, 1982 - Uniondale, NY - Nassau Coliseum) Laura (12 Gardens Live - Spring 2006 - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden) Pressure (Live At Yankee Stadium - June 1990 - Bronx, NY - Yankee Stadium) Goodnight Saigon (Концерт - Live in the U.S.S.R - Summer 1987) She's Right On Time (December 20, 2021 - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden) A Room of Our Own (12 Gardens Live - Spring 2006 - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden) Surprises (March 21, 2014 - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden) Scandinavian Skies (Live From Long Island - December 29, 1982 - Uniondale, NY - Nassau Coliseum) Where's The Orchestra?

I couldn't wait to get this episode out because I spoke with longtime Billy Joel drummer Liberty DeVitto. I've always been a big fan of Billy's music and part of the reason for that is his outstanding band, highlighted by DeVitto's work behind the drum kit. With Billy's The Nylon Curtain album set to celebrate its 40th anniversary in September, I wanted to talk to Liberty about a record which is very special to me. But we didn't just talk about the album. We also spoke about his autobiography, his involvement with the excellent Hired Gun documentary, his trip behind the iron curtain to play rock music in the Soviet Union, his current bands (the Slim Kings and the Lords of 52nd Street), and more. Big thanks to Liberty for his time.

Years before Billy Joel started doing master classes, and long before MTV stopped showing music videos, there was Night School.    Broadcast in late 1982, Night School was a half-hour show on MTV where Billy fielded questions from an audience of young fans. Fresh off the success of The Nylon Curtain, he tells stories, gives some behind-the-scenes glimpses of the music industry and, of course, plays      piano.    The program turned out to be a one-off event. There was never a second episode or another version with a different host or musician. At the time, MTV was a new and untested concept, and Night School is a relic of when the channel was at its most daring and experimental.    The show is a diamond in the rough for Billy Joel fans. It's currently only available on YouTube and it doesn't get much mention in fan forums, biographies, or any official publications.    But, it features Billy in a great mood, cracking jokes and telling stories he'd refine and rehash for later interviews. It's a rare, candid insight to the artist, in between the release of his most artistically ambitious album and just before the lighter, more pop-oriented An Innocent Man would launch him into the next level of superstardom with a new generation of fans.    Join us as we dig deep into Billy Joel's MTV Night School from 1982.      ------     Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com     Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod  Discord: https://discord.gg/k9XjNEEZ     Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor  

Scandinavian Skies, as Billy himself says, is the weirdest one and the 8th track off of 1982's The Nylon Curtain. It is a clear nod to John Lennon and the Beatles that even someone who wasn't a fan of the Beatles can figure out from the first note. Complete with flight announcements and plane landings. Whatever. Next episode is Scenes from an Italian Restaurant so. . . . See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The One After Piano Man -- Pressure was the first single released off of The Nylon Curtain and entered the Billboard Charts on September 25, 1982. Pressure is a great song and not very often remembered or thought of. The music video is one of the first concept music videos of it's time and was directed by the person that directed the first music video ever played on MTV - all those years ago.

The Covid-19 pandemic and quarantines of 2020 caused disruptions in the music industry that we're still feeling a few years later. But while we're fortunate that the lack of live music will fade into memory, the releases of quarantine albums may very well add up to an interesting reflection of these unprecedented times.    With no opportunities to tour and limits on how and when musicians could gather to write and record songs, many artists created and recorded music in isolation. Or collaborated remotely to produce new music.    One of those projects was Johnny Lied, a collaboration between two longtime friends. Jon Herchert, a veteran Minnesota musician and accomplished producer John Fields used their time in 2020 to reimagine classic albums.    Their second effort was a full rearrangement and recording of Billy Joel's The Nylon Curtain. The song-by-song remake stripped down Billy's most meticulously-orchestrated album and built it back with entirely new instrumentation and perspective.    The duo released a song a week with accompanying videos on YouTube. As the last track hit the internet, we sat down with Herchert and Fields to learn about why they chose this album, how they recorded separately from each other, and how they see the album as relevant to the world today.    Along the way, we also talked about the state of the music industry today and got a glimpse of the Midwest rock scene.    Join us as we dig deep into a unique reimagining of The Nylon Curtain.   Listen to / watch Johnny Lied's unique take on The Nylon Curtain.   -----   Email us: glasshousespodcast@gmail.com   Glass Houses - A Billy Joel Podcast on the web / social media: Website: http://www.glasshousespod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glasshousespodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glasshousespod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/glasshousespod    Support the podcast: Paypal: https://paypal.me/glasshousespod Venmo: @MGrosvenor

Richie Cannata shares his journey from playing Sax, keys and percussion with Billy Joel, The Beach Boys and more to overcoming cancer and coming back better than before!! Amazing conversation unpacking true miracles! When you first hear “New York State of Mind” by Billy Joel, a few things stick out in your mind; the fantastic songwriting and musicianship, and THAT solo. The solo that many people can remember note for note that has become part of us. When Richie recorded and performed that solo in 1976 on The “Turnstiles” record, little did he know what that song and that solo would go on to represent for the biggest city in the world.. Richie wrote that solo as a New Yorker, as a Long Islander, and he and his sound is forever ingrained in us. It was the beginning of him playing all those great memorable sax solos on Billy's records, which has added up to being on over 150 million records sold….. Richie was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Ernest and Anna. At the ripe old age of four, he had an attraction to the piano, then at eight, he laid his eyes on his future musical, life long companion, the tenor sax. With incredibly supportive parents, Richie blossomed as a musician, especially after the family moved to Garden City South, Long Island. He played in school bands and in bands with his friends. Wetting his lips and perfecting his trade on the local club scene, Richie began doing studio sessions with a variety of musicians. Until that fateful day in 1975, when Richie was in the studio doing some session work, and the engineer, Al Stegmeyer, recognizing his incredible sound and talent, suggested Richie call his brother Doug. Doug had recently gotten the gig as Billy Joel's bass player, and they were looking for a sax player that also played keys and sang. Richie was that multi-talented musician Billy was looking for. Richie quickly gelled with Billy and the guys, and joined them on the “Turnstiles,” where he would play that amazing solo on New York State of Mind. Billy knew he had something special. Richie would continue to tour throughout the world and perform on albums for many years to come. Performing on multiplatinum records such as “The Stranger,” “52nd Street,” “Glass Houses,” “Songs in The Attic” and even I having musical residuals on “The Nylon Curtain.” It was then that Richie felt it was time to start a family and expand his horizons, performing with different and varied musicians. He went on to become a member of The Beach Boys, playing on their recordings and their successful world tours. He would also go on to perform with Elton John, Celine Dion, Tommy Shaw, Phoebe Snow, Roseanne Cash, Rita Coolidge, Charlie Danials, Vince Gill, and many more. Richie then took a chance in 1985, and opened up “Cove City Sound Studios” in Glen Cove. By bringing his unique musical talents to help other musicians, it put Long Island on the map as a “place to be” for recording for already established musicians. Artists such as Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Billy Joel, Jon Bellion. Chef Special and Jenifer Lopez would pass through ”Cove Sound's” doors. Richie would earn many Grammys and an Oscar. He was also a member of John Stamos' band, “Jesse and The Rippers” on the TV show “Full House,” and continues to this day in his latest position as Musical Director for New York Yankee Bernie Willams and his band. Richie has always been a true Long Islander at heart, living and working there. He is proud of his beautiful family, starting with his wife, Shirlene. Their talented son, Eren and his wife, Kristen, and their children, Ceo Prince Cannata and Lux Leoux Cannata. Richie couldn't be more proud to be the head of his family and watch his grandsons grow up. Richie is a Long Islander in his heart and soul, and forever remains grateful for the way living on Long Island has shaped his life.
