“A Matter of Trust” is from Billy Joel’s 1986 album The Bridge. The bluesy pop-rock track became one of the album's biggest hits, reaching #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, #3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and the Top 20 in several countries. Its guitar-driven sound marked a noticeable departure from Joel's piano-centered style. Departing from his "Piano Man" persona, Joel played rhythm guitar on both the record and in live performances, feeling the track's attitude required a heavier edge. Its music video was famously filmed in the South Bronx, New York City, featuring Joel performing with his band alongside neighborhood residents, reinforcing the song's gritty, street-level atmosphere.
