Helen Sjöholm sings Billy Joel-songs interpreted into Swedish by Tomas Andersson Wij. Billy Joel? Yeah, but it is not as silly as it may seem. Piano man is basically a talented songwriter and there is a nerve (for lack of better word) in his songs that fits Helen Sjöholm very well. Then, after all, Tomas Andersson Wij is one of our best songwriters, all categories. Many songs become in his hands small reflections that far outshines the originals lyrically, for example the classic Piano man, elegantly interpreted to Barpianisten.
