Once again Neil Diamond proves he was born to write songs and sing. He took a year off to write these songs and make this CD happen. We believe it has paid off! This CD has been a hit in my family for both kids and adults. There is something for everyone, from heartfelt ballads, slow romantic songs, to melodic tunes that make you want to sing along. Another CD well done by Mr. Diamond!
I LOVE THIS CD. I have been a fan of Neil Diamond's since I was 19 yrs. old. I am about 2 yrs. younger than Neil. I saw Neil on T.V. on several programs advertising his new CD and I just had to have it. It is very down to earth type of music and singing for Neil. It's like he sang and played guitar many years ago. He sings with just a few instruments in the background and not the big orchestra that he had a few years ago. I found it very relaxing in my busy and sometimes stressful life. Well worth the price of the CD. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.
This is outstanding material as most of the program books for Neil Diamond. But Neil Diamond is a tremendous singer song writer with world acclaim.
Verified purchase: Yes
I bought this CD because I have loved Neil Diamond's music since I was a teenager. Frankly, I wasn't disappointed. I have watched his music evolve from teeny-bopper style, happy go lucky to a more serious form, and I must have grown up too. It is typical Neil Diamond style of writing: this CD has some very "deep" songs, and some that also seem self-retrospective. Refreshing to listen to "real music" and songs that one can contemplate the words... It is sometimes somber and unless one is ready for a somber "Neil Diamond CD", then this one is not for you. But if you love listening to the words and their meaning along with new music, then go there!
I have been a big Neil Diamond fan for 40 years and my girls are, too. We saw him on his last tour and all of us have this CD. This CD is more mellow than his earlier work, but it is full of insight and self exploration. I am glad to have it with my collection.
