Holy Moses by Attila (1970)




Now this is pretty f%$#ing far from Piano Man...Yes, this is Billy Joel in a two-man psych/prog rock outfit called Attila. Their one and only album was released only fifteen months prior to Billy Joel's solo debut album, Cold Spring Harbor, and the hit She's Got a Way.

The Attila album was widely panned, for those critics who bothered to review it. I'm not sure if most of the reviews happened after Billy Joel became a thing. If so, that explains it. I mean, this isn't the best album, but it's not bad. It has its moments.

Here is my favorite track on the release, Holy Moses.
