| We all get better with age |
If you're a true Neil Diamond fan, you will love this album. Yes his age is showing but in a good way. No more shouting or stretching his vocal cords. Just the beautiful tone of his voice shining through along with gorgeous instrumentals and the lyrics? Listen to them - inspiring!!
Neil, don't stop writing and keep going in this direction, beautiful, spiritual, sensual music that puts the listener into another world....a good world. I think this is your best work ever since you reached down into your soul and it shows!!!!! |

| Life Sung Blue |
This album falls way short of my expectations hoping for a wise, mellowed, satisfied Neil singing about the blessings of life and love shared with his family of fans.
Home Before Dark??? A title of "Life on the Rocks" would be better suited.
This album is like reading a musical suicide note.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, my friends" is the lyric in Don't Go There - how appropriate...and unfortunate. |

| What A Diamond |
Neil is the most prolific songwriter, music arranger, lyricsist an compser and arranger, and then after all of that he is the most fantastic entertainer and showman and even more; its his voice. He says, "his voice is gravael and low" it sure is, and how we love his baratone gravel voice.
When he comes out to entertain, boy does he do it, and do it well.....Now, for the best news of the day, his new CD/DVD "Home Beofore Dark" it is a wow! It is really one of his best and it seems that most of the world thinks so too. I would not be surprised if this CD goes to number 1, that is how beautiful his 14 songs are. He truly hit the high notes this time.
I adored "12 Songs", and still do, but "Home Before Dark" is so beautiful, sensitive, sensual and fun. The music and the words are so well choesn. He truly is the poet of our time in the music world.
I will be attending 2 shows; one in San Diego, CA and another at San Antonio, Tx. I can't wait to hear him sing his new songs.
He is no Diamond in the Rough any longer. He is now a Gem. |
