About this album

The Bridge shows Billy Joel refining his pop craft with a harder, more assured edge. Arriving in 1986, the album blends piano-led pop rock, blues touches and reflective ballads, with standout singles such as A Matter of Trust and This Is the Time helping it reconnect him with a wide mainstream audience. Produced with a polished mid-80s sheen, it also features Baby Grand, Joel’s duet with Ray Charles, which underlines his command of classic American song forms. Coming after his run of blockbuster albums, The Bridge remains a notable late-80s entry in his catalogue, balancing accessibility with a sharper, more self-aware tone.
