SELECTION
Thirty-Six Tracks Across Three Eras

The sequence moves fluidly between ballads and rockers, ensuring no era dominates while honouring the distinct character of each period.
HIGHLIGHTS
Familiar Anthems And Hidden Gems
Listeners will recognise immediate classics like Piano Man and Uptown Girl, alongside deeper cuts such as Allentown and Goodnight Saigon.
