Neil Diamond - Home Before Dark [Deluxe CD+DVD]

Neil Diamond's second album with producer Rick Rubin is Home Before Dark led by the single Pretty Amazing Grace. The CD also features a duet with the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines on Another Day (That Time Forgot).

As with 2005's 12 Songs, in addition to Rubin, Diamond collaborated with Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench. A new addition to the lineup this time is guitarist Matt Sweeney, best known for fronting indie rock outfit Chavez.

Less intimate than 12 Songs, Home Before Dark is still Diamond stripped down to the basics with a less bombastic approach than on some of his earlier works.

This deluxe edition includes a four-song DVD of Diamond performing tracks live in the studio. Among them is a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer, which does not appear on the album.
