Glass Houses is an LP by Billy Joel from 1980 released on the CBS label.
About this album
Glass Houses is Billy Joel at his most direct and deliberately hard-edged, trading the piano-led warmth of his late-1970s work for a tougher pop-rock attack. Released in 1980, the album found him leaning into radio-ready hooks, sharper guitars and a more confrontational attitude while keeping the melodic instinct that made him a mainstream force. Produced by Phil Ramone, it yielded some of Joel’s best-known songs, including “You May Be Right” and the chart-topping “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me”. The record became one of his most successful and recognisable albums, reinforcing his status as a major songwriter of the era.
