Gene Ween Does Billy Joel

Aaron "Gene Ween" Freeman reassumes the moniker he sported for the nearly three decades he spent fronting late lamented alt-pop powerhouse Ween. Here, the veteran singer-songwriter sets aside his considerable body of original work—see last year's excellent self-titled debut by his eponymous band, Freeman—to indulge his career-long gift for skewed homage. The subject? Long Island's favorite son. (Weirdly, Joel plays his own show tonight at MSG.)
