Streetlife Serenade is the third studio album by American recording artist Billy Joel, released on October 11, 1974 by Columbia Records. The follow-up to his previous album Piano Man (1973), it was his last release until 1993's River of Dreams to be mostly recorded with session musicians, while Joel himself sang and played piano and other keyboards, although some of his backing musicians, guitarists Don Evans and Al Hertzberg, and banjo/pedal steel guitarist Tom Whitehorse played on the album.

Streetlife Serenade is the third studio album by American recording artist Billy Joel, released on October 11, 1974 by Columbia Records. Joel says that he had been touring in clubs and theatres and opening for big acts such as The Beach Boys, thus leaving him little time to write new songs, but was under pressure to put out a new album after Piano Man. He also says that he did not have many new songs, hence the inclusion of two instrumentals – "The Mexican Connection" and "Root Beer Rag".

Billy Joel’s pop schmaltz occupies a stylistic no man’s land where musical and lyric truisms borrowed from disparate sources are forced together. Piano Man and Captain Jack, the centerpieces of Joel’s last album, compelled attention for their despairing portraits of urban fringe life, despite their underlying shallowness. By contrast, Streetlife Serenade is desiccated of ideas. The opening cut, Streetlife Serenader, fails to develop a melody or lyrical theme. Los Angelenos presents a hackneyed picture postcard of . The Great Suburban Showdown seems even more dated than its apparent inspiration, The Graduate.

To date I have now purchased this album three times, and it was worth it every time. I originally was entranced by it on cassette in the early 90s. I have had the original CD issue for a very long time. Turnstyles" and "Streetlife Serenade". The latter album receives a nice upgrade with an SACD release that makes use of the multi-channel quad tapes for the first time in over 40 years. For those that don't know, quadrophonic was a brief craze for music fans with upscale systems because of the early multi-channel analog capability.
