Touching You, Touching Me

A pivotal bridge between 60s pop and 70s soft rock. Lush orchestral arrangements meet a baritone that is still finding its iconic, gravelly power.

The record where Neil Diamond stops being a songwriter-for-hire and starts becoming a legend.

A warm, sentimental embrace that balances 60s pop polish with an emerging singer-songwriter vulnerability.

Candlelit saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The gentle, almost whispered opening of Holly Holy before the gospel choir swells
The way the strings swell and then suddenly drop to a single acoustic guitar in the bridge of Sweet Caroline
The vulnerable, dry vocal delivery on the cover of Both Sides Now that feels like a private confession
