Home Before Dark is the long awaited new album from legendary artist Neil Diamond. Home Before Dark was produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin who also produced Neil's critically acclaimed 12 Songs.

Home Before Dark - Neil Diamond

The highly anticipated May 6th, 2008 release from legendary singer-songwriter Neil Diamond rises from within the Arc Angel studio (L.A.) where this pop & rock master has called home for more than three decades. This is the 67-year-old’s 29th studio album and for the second record in a row, Diamond has entrusted his talent and ingenuity in the hands of the celebrated Rick Rubin who also produced the artist’s previous album 12 Songs.

Home Before Dark is perhaps Diamond’s most honest and moving album to date. An acoustic aesthetic is set by utilizing mainly guitars and keyboards (Benmont Tench) and, fittingly enough, very little drums or percussion. Instead the rhythm is derived from Diamond’s steady strumming and lyrical discourse. The result is a very intimate ambiance yet the record manages to convey elements of grit and passion.

Pretty Amazing Grace is a powerful song that instantly captures the listener’s ear and imagination. Diamond’s voice commands the lyrics in a manner that only he can reproduce, warmly and unwavering. The album also features a duet with the Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines. All of the tracks seem interconnected by lyrical themes and as a result, the record plays seamlessly and effortlessly.

How does the most commercially successful singer-songwriter of all time feel about this release?

“I'm happy to have it under my belt and to have survived it.”

Favorite Song: “Pretty Amazing Grace”, “One More Bite Of The Apple”, and “Forgotten”
