‘Home Before Dark’, released in May 2008, was the iconic singer-songwriter’s second album for American Recordings.
A new digital deluxe edition of Neil Diamond’s Home Before Dark is now available.
Home Before Dark, released on May 5, 2008, marked the iconic singer-songwriter’s second album for American Recordings. When it was released, it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in North America (getting a platinum certification), and it also topped album charts in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
Home Before Dark includes Neil Diamond’s original songs as well as some remakes. Rick Rubin produced it, while Dana Nielsen mixed it. David Campbell, who has worked on albums for artists such as The Rolling Stones, Post Malone, and Elton John, arranged and conducted the orchestral parts. The original album’s lead single was “Pretty Amazing Grace,” while the deluxe edition includes two new bonus tracks, “Without Her” and “Make You Feel My Love.”
The new Home Before Dark edition follows Diamond’s 2005 album 12 Songs, which was reissued digitally deluxe. Arriving nearly two decades after the original album, the new version of that title included 15 new bonus tracks available for streaming and download, some of which were previously unreleased. The new releases contain demos, early recordings, alternate takes, and alternate mixes of popular Diamond songs such as “Oh Mary,” “Delirious Love,” and “Save Me a Saturday Night.”
