Album Notes Neil Diamond's 2005 collaboration with Rick Rubin, 12 SONGS, found the latter stripping the pop legend's work down to a sparse, acoustic-based sound, as he'd famously done for Johnny Cash in the '90s. Apparently the experience impressed Diamond enough to warrant a second go-round with the producer. HOME BEFORE DARK takes a similar sonic approach as its predecessor; on most of these songs Diamond is backed by little more than Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell's acoustic guitar and Benmont Tench's piano (the pair contributed to Cash's recordings too), but in restrospect, 12 SONGS almost seems like a warm-up for this one. There's a sense of emotional nakedness here, as the 67-year-old Diamond peers deeply into the intricacies of his life, delivering penetrating insights in a highly reflective mode while never losing sight of his gifts as a master pop melody-maker. While most of the songs here are slow-to-medium ruminations on deep subjects, each one comes fully equipped with expert melodic turns that make these tunes as pleasing to the ear as they are to the mind. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  HOME BEFORE DARK I decided to buy this after seeing Neil Diamond on American Idol. I have been a BIG fan of his and have even enjoyed hearing his music at a bar in the Dominican. However,I was extremely disapointed in this new adventure. Each song seemed to have the same melody and beat. It was so BORING. YAWN! Review ID: 10000000007893617 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Home Before Dark - Diamond, Neil (CD)Review created: 07/04/08 by: Below Average for Neil Diamonds potential. It seems (my opinion) he is cutting costs on additional musical instruments that made so many of his standards popular! Even disappointed with the duet number, just not compatible with his voice. I might add I am a Neil Diamond fan, but this CD is over rated. Review ID: 10000000007813416 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Seller in deedReview created: 06/08/08 by: I had ordered this cd and was wondering what happened to it. The seller emailed me back tell me one of his workers that was responsable for packing the item for some reson mine never got packed and shipped. He fealt so bad this had happened and reasured me that I would recieve it the next day he would put a rush on it. I thought ya right. But to my surprise it did arrive the next day. This puts my belief in sellers who give me there word. You dont see this often, but I am happy I ran across one honest seller. His word is 5********** A grautfull and happy customer.
