River Of Dreams
''River of Dreams'' is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on August 10, 1993. ''River of Dreams'' presented a more serious tone than found in Joel's previous albums, dealing with issues such as trust and long-lasting love. It was rumored that the themes of trust and betrayal, particularly certain lyrics from the songs "A Minor Variation" and "The Great Wall of China", stem from Joel's legal disputes with his former manager and ex-brother-in-law, Frank Weber, who reportedly embezzled millions of dollars from Joel and used dubious accounting practices to cover it up. As of 2022, ''River of Dreams'' is the last rock album Joel has released. The last studio album he released was ''Fantasies & Delusions'' in 2001, a classical recording featuring solo piano performed by Hyung-ki "Richard" Joo. Since ''River of Dreams'', Joel has recorded occasional pop/rock singles and continues to play live. The album cover was a painting by Joel's then-wife ...
