Home Before Dark by Neil Diamond

I bought this CD because I have loved Neil Diamond's music since I was a teenager. Frankly, I wasn't disappointed. I have watched his music evolve from teeny-bopper style, happy go lucky to a more serious form, and I must have grown up too. It is typical Neil Diamond style of writing: this CD has some very "deep" songs, and some that also seem self-retrospective. Refreshing to listen to "real music" and songs that one can contemplate the words... It is sometimes somber and unless one is ready for a somber "Neil Diamond CD", then this one is not for you. But if you love listening to the words and their meaning along with new music, then go there!
