NEIL DIAMOND Home Before Dark (Columbia)
Diamond’s second studio venture with producer Rick Rubin is a far starker affair than 2006’s 12 Songs. As Rubin once again puts together a dream team of session musicians, Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, Chavez guitarist Matt Sweeney and one-time Tom Waits axeman Smokey Hormel chief among them, Diamond delivers perhaps his darkest work since his early MCA material. So in other words, if you are looking for more “Sweet Caroline”, best keep listening to your faithful copy of Hot August Night. –Ed.
