The now 85-year-old songsmith icon NEIL DIAMOND recorded his
first album, named 12 Songs, with renowned producer Rick Rubin
in 2005.

A second collaborative one, titled Home Before Dark, came out in 2008.

10 other tracks from those same sessions were planned
to be released later as the 3rd LP, but it didn’t happen.

Now the news came in that those tracks will, after all, be out on
a new full-length, titled WILD AT HEART. It’ll see the day of light
on May 8th.

Diamond: “My work with Rick was a labor of love, and I’m so gratified
that these songs will finally be set free into the world to complete our
trilogy of work.”

Top singles from the past

12 October 2025

The now 84-year-old songwriting legend NEIL DIAMOND had his first No. 1 hit
in the US with CRACKLIN’ ROSIE. It topped the charts on 12 October 1970, today
55 years ago.

It also was on top of the charts in
New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa.

Billboard called it a “clever rhythm item that has it to hit with
all the potent sales of another ‘Sweet Caroline’ or ‘Holly Holy.”

Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy.
You and me, we go in style…
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin’

Formidable live version.

Neil Diamond: “It was consciously an attempt on my part

it came from my sessions with the analyst. It’s a tough thing
for me to gather myself after singing that song.”

Turn Up The Volume: A timeless pop classic
by a classic songwriter and outstanding voice.

“I am”… I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
“I am”… I cried
“I am”… said I
And I am lost and I can’t
Even say why
Leavin’ me lonely still…
