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?

Report this review A Soulful NeilReview created: 08/07/08 by: librababe4 ( 8 ) I saw a couple of interviews with Neil Diamond talking about the songs he wrote for this album plus I heard him performing 2 or 3 of them. This album appealed to me because it seemed it would be like a glimpse inside the heart and mind of Neil....and it doesn't disappoint! I think this is the mature Neil Diamond whose life experiences erupted into songs! Review ID: 10000000008257013 Was this review helpful?
