## Resource

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! It's 1976 again, and in this episode we celebrate 40 years of Turnstiles, the album that marked a turning point in the career of Billy Joel. Released at a pivotal moment in Joel's life, Turnstiles chronicled his return to New York after time spent in California and captured the sights, sounds, and spirit of the city that shaped him. Featuring fan favorites such as "Say Goodbye to Hollywood," "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)," and "New York State of Mind," the album showcased a songwriter finding his voice and embracing his roots. We explore the stories behind the songs, the formation of Joel's longtime touring band, and how Turnstiles laid the groundwork for the commercial breakthrough that would soon follow. Join us as we revisit one of the most personal and enduring albums in Billy Joel's remarkable catalog.
