What a fantastic album and when you think about it and study his work, he never has really changed his subject matter and in all that time, he has never sunk into cliche in his words.
Such an effortless voice, a guy that probably never has suffered from voice strain.
I love the "I do it like this and that`s the way it is" attitude, which obviously Johnny Cash shared along with Rick Rubin in this albums case.

If you don`t own a copy of Neils` current album yet, buy it, it is a wow.

Bob Dylan shares the same philosophy, although Neil Diamond is a better singer.

I was listening to some of Jakob Dylan's new solo stuff on Radio 4 and noted how his voice is more tuneful than his father's, but with less character.

"If I never see you again", by Mr Diamond , chilled me to the bone. Marvelous writing.
