Neil Diamond sang my underpants off. In truth, I didn’t wear any today in my “give-up’s” (track pants). It was a hard, slow, soft day on the homefront, grieivng the loss of my dog. gulp. My husband is taking great care of me and I turn this aft to my blogs to take my mind off heavier things, even for a bit.
So thanks everyone for staying tuned in.
Back to Neil ~ I mean we all know he’s fab but this album was strung together brilliantly. I loved every song, had it cranked up & thought his barefoot hippie photo on the album cover art was just lovely. This album STONES has a sweet album cover with an envelope style cover. Even more importantly, it was clearly given to someone as a Christmas present. See sticker in photo. This album is delicious because he covers Joni Mitchell AND Leonard Cohen songs. PS. Suzanne happens to be one of my top 5 songs of all time. Only four songs on this album are actually his.
wiki:
Stones is an album by Neil Diamond, recorded and released in 1971. It was one of the biggest hit recordings of his career. Early copies of the LP album featured a picture label and a unique version of the cover with a button-string style closure on the back. The cover itself was styled as an envelope that opened from the top. This was later abandoned and replaced with a standard side-opening sleeve.
We digress from the actual album to bring you these great youtube clips as we have lots more Neil to come this year:
Here’s Neil & Brian wilson, more recently.
