styles, ranging from soft piano ballads to raucous Springsteen homages to spiked social
commentary. Greatest
Hits, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 does a good job of representing
Joel from his early days as a scrappy piano man to an elder statesman of rock and pop.

Good Grief
Charles Schulz's "Peanuts" comic strip comes to life on
the new Broadway cast recording of You're
a Good Man, Charlie Brown. The show's catchy songs and
spirited performances by Kristin Chenoweth (Sally), Roger Bart (Snoopy), and Anthony Rapp
(Charlie) make it easy to understand why it's so popular with children of all ages. |
