Veteran singer-songwriter Neil Diamond has announced that a brand new compilation album - featuring 23 of his most-loved and most-celebrated singles and tracks - will be released on November 19th.
‘The Very Best of Neil Diamond - The Original Studio Recordings’ - the new long-awaited definitive single disc compilation - is the first Neil Diamond collection to draw from the artist's complete studio discography, and includes his first pop chartings as a writer/performer for Bang Records in the mid-1960s, his spectacular career-defining hits for Uni/MCA, music from the 5x platinum soundtrack to The Jazz Singer, and studio essentials from a long-running association with Columbia Records that began in 1973.
In his reflections on "Hell Yeah," the track that closes the album, he writes, “‘Hell Yeah' is an affirmation of a lifetime spent devoted to music and my attempt to find a personally satisfying life for myself beyond the music. I have that life now but it was a much harder job than I thought possible. Still, well worth all the years and all the tears.”
Across a musical career spanning nearly five decades, Neil Diamond has sold more than 125 million albums worldwide, with a remarkable track record of 16 Top Ten albums, and 37 Top Ten singles. A Grammy Award-winning artist, Neil Diamond has been inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and is a recipient of the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. Among Diamond's many other honors, he has received a Golden Globe Award, 12 Grammy nominations and was named the 2009 MusiCares Person of the Year.
The album is a must have for fans, and is the only Neil Diamond release you’ll be seeing in 2012 - so don’t miss out.
