Summary: So upset!
Comment: This album is not the original (although the jacket looks the same). I wanted the same album with the same music that I had back in the 70's and it has been reworked. Different songs. Some are the same but not many. I was so upset. If they are going to rework an album - it should be clearly stated somewhere on the cover or in the listing.

Summary: One of Neil's best, a good mix of familiar and wild...
Comment: I kind of wore the vinyl version of this out when it was released, and the African Song Cycle on this one turns out to be the most durable part of it. If you are a fan, and have not owned this, I recommend it highly as a product of its era, when Neil was cool. Fans of his score for "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" should particularly like this one too.

Summary: A Legend In His Own Time.
Comment: On CBS Sunday Morning, I learned that it is not 'hip' to be a Neil Diamond fan, and never has been. He claims to be the original 'outsider' (Rodney Crowell is the newest one), and likes it that way. We wandered back to the little dumpy club in New York where he got his start at $50 a night performance.
The summer I visited my son's 'family' in Chicago, he asked if I liked Neil Diamond and was surprised when I admitted that I do. My introduction to this incredible songwriter was the movie, 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' and then along came his rendition of 'The Jazz Singer,' which I loved. Now, he has out a new CD, 'Twelve Songs' with the way he sounds today -- not much different from the early years. I missed his rock songs as I was never into the rock music scene with the drugs and confusion. My music of choice was pop with the baritone Eddie Fisher. Neil still has his melodious baritone (though strained) sounds and is as good now as he was forty years ago.

Summary: Looking for a Particular Song - Search Amazon!
Comment: I have a friend who had this album years ago and loved the song "Coldwater Morning". but lost it was lost in a flood years ago. We have searched endlessly at shops and garage sales. Neil Diamond has a lot of material out there, but we could never find this song. One search in Amazons was all it took. She's thrilled and I'm happy I was able to help her find it.
