The Nylon Curtain

by Billy Joel

The Nylon Curtain cover art

A deliberate departure from breezy romantic pop, 'The Nylon Curtain' is an ambitious, highly produced exploration of the anxieties facing working-class America during the Reagan era. Utilizing complex, Beatlesque studio techniques, the album critically examines the decline of manufacturing and the lingering trauma of the Vietnam War.
