Summer, Highland Falls

Summer, Highland Falls

Billy's greatest song ever and apparently it's about manic depression. Summer Highland Falls is the second song off of Billy Joel’s legendary fourth studio album, Turnstiles, which was released on May 19, 1976. AND, it is also the second song off of Billy’s 1981 live album, Songs in the Attic. The song, although not a hit in the classic sense, has gained its reputation simply from all of us knowing what Billy Joel is capable of as a musician, a lyricist and a singer with a magical vocal range. What do Billy Joel and Charles Dickens have in common? Find out on today's episode.
