Topic: Billy Joel and Cass Dylan

What do you all think about this song? I think it is fantastic. Billy wrote this tune and hired 21yr old Cass to perform the tune. Billy thought it would have more impact with a younger person(around the same age as the average soldier) singing the tune. Please listen to the tune and relay your thoughts....

Re: Billy Joel and Cass Dylan

I am not so familiar about the tune.
What I noticed, maybe 30 years ago is we had Elton John and Billy Joel, but also Joey Jackson & Elvis Costello. At first, I had it difficult to distinguish Jackson and Costello, maybe 1 or 2 songs.
It is sometimes strange that voices of artists look really similar, but it is obvious that this changes.

Hey Doc,

The tune is new. Billy Joel recently wrote the song in support of the heroic soldiers and their battle against  terrorism.
