		Diamond's reputation as a song writer was enhanced when The Monkees recorded his tune, "I'm a Believer", which topped Billboard's charts for weeks.
		Diamond's first number one record as a performer came in 1972 with "Cracklin' Rosie", a song that was inspired by trip to an Indian reservation and not wine, as many of his fans first thought.
		Neil decided to re-record the song with Streisand herself, and within weeks of its release, the single went to number one in the U.S. Neil followed with "I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight", and "September Morn", to continue his streak of RIAA-certified platinum albums.

		Neil Diamond is one of a rare breed.
		The song is a beautiful tribute to the man. Neil Diamond's voice on this song sounds as youthful as it has since the early 1980's (listen to Play Me on this collection as a early 1990's comparison to see how his voice improved from the 90's to today).
		He Ain' Heavy, He's My Brother is in Neil's current show as a tribute to the heros and victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the troops that are currently fighting for the U.S. What is particularly interesting about this song is that Neil sang it before it ever became a hit.

		In fact, under-40 Neil Diamond fans all over the world are casting off their cloaks of irony, because the inevitable has happened: with the release of his new album, 12 Songs (Sony), the man that Rolling Stone magazine dubbed "the Jewish Elvis" is genuinely cool.
		Diamond took up playing the guitar for the first time in years for the album, which features an almost all-acoustic sound with soft swashes of piano, organ, Chamberlain and strings.
		A Neil Diamond song--no matter who happens to be performing it--is instantly recognizable for its trademark melodic but dorky swagger.

		As Diamond's candid liner notes reveal, Rubin wasn't a co-writer, he was a precise and exacting editor, encouraging Neil to rework songs, abandon some tunes, and to keep writing.
		Instead of encouraging Neil to write these rollicking, effortlessly hooky pop songs, Rubin brings the moody undercurrents of "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" and "Solitary Man" to the forefront, pushing Diamond toward somber, introspective territory that his music suggested but never truly explored in the past.
		Diamond's writing is not only more ambitious than it has been in years, but it's also more fully realized; the songs are tightly written, with the melodies bringing out the emotions in the lyrics.

	Entertainment Ave! The Concert Hall - A concert review of Neil Diamond, October 14, 2001, at The Gund Arena, Cleveland, ...
		Neil continued on through a new song, "Mission of Love" and preceded "Solitary Man" with the statement "If music has the power to heal, let the healing begin." And he sure did his best to help the healing by doing what Neil does best – putting on one kick-ass show.
		This show Neil kept the banter down a little from the last time I saw him (I found him maybe telling a few too many stories back then), but the stories were appropriate and helped explain a few things poignantly.
		Mom did like, though, that Neil didn’t have to get fancy with fireworks and what-not, to please a crowd, and that he was just a great singer who just put on a great show.

		Before Neil Diamond made his name as an arena-packing performer, he made his living as a Brill Building songwriter.
		Diamond's "faith is something you can't see" line is second only to "a friend is someone you need" from E.T. -inspired 1982 Diamond schmaltzfest "Heartlight" for boneheaded obviousness.
		Diamond intones that "love is all about we" and "it can keep you dry on a rainy day" on the closing "We", which oompahs like Sir Paul's "When I'm 64".

		But no matter the image Diamond has cultivated -- the hammy patriot ("America"), the charming rogue ("Solitary Man") or the sappy adult-contemporary icon ("Heartlight," "You Don't Bring Me Flowers") -- there is always an unfussy melody buried under even the biggest hunk of cheese.
		Diamond mentions in his liner notes that Rubin relished his role as editor, pushing Diamond to write more and trimming the fat with little fear of the legend in his studio.
		The results are stunning, but you have to wonder what audience Diamond has in mind with this record.

	Neil Diamond: 12 Songs (2005): Reviews
		Producer Rick Rubin attempts to do for Neil Diamond what he did for Johnny Cash, resulting in a rare stripped-down, intimate set for the veteran performer.
		But if 12 Songs does occasionally come across as slightly affected in its intent and presentation, it also is inarguably Neil Diamond's best set of songs in a long, long time.
		It’s not that Diamond has recorded a masterpiece, since quite a good portion of this is decidedly B material.
