"Root Beer Rag" is a composition from Billy Joel's 1974 album Streetlife Serenade. An instrumental track in a very fast ragtime style, it was later released as the B-side of several singles from Joel's 52nd Street album, including "Big Shot" in the US, "Until the Night" in the UK, and "Honesty" in Japan and some European countries.
The album peaked at No. 35 on the US album charts, eventually selling more than one million copies. Joel's live shows in the 1970s frequently featured the instrumental "Root Beer Rag" and the short song "Souvenir", which was often used as the final encore.
According to the sheet music published on the website Musicnotes.com by Faber Music, "Honesty" is a pop rock and classical rock song written in the key of B♭ major. [9] The song is set in common time and performed in a slow tempo of 80 beats per minute. [9] Joel 's vocals range from the note of B b2 to B b4. [9]
As the album title “Streetlife Serenade” suggests, “Root Beer Rag” is a tribute to the ragtime genre of music. Ragtime, popularized in the early 1900s, blended African American musical influences with classical elements. It became known for its syncopated rhythm and lively melodies, capturing the spirit of an era.
Un bicchiere di root beer, coperta di schiuma. La root beer (che in inglese significa "birra di radice") è una bevanda gassata e dolcificata, preparata originariamente con l'aroma della radice o della corteccia di sassofrasso .
