Description:
Five decades into his career, Neil Diamond has finally made the album of his "Dreams". On Nov. 2, Columbia Records will release "Dreams," his 14-song collection comprising the legendary singer/songwriter's favorite songs of other composers from the rock era.

Known mostly as a song writer and stage performer, "Dreams" showcases Diamond's distinctive skills as a singer. The album includes music that deeply influenced Diamond as a young man growing up in Brooklyn, starting with "Let It Be Me," popularized by the Everly Bros. in 1960. The listener gets to time travel with Diamond as he so beautifully renders The Beatles' stunning and spare "Blackbird" and the mournful "Yesterday," Leon Russell's underrated classic "A Song for You," Gilbert O'Sullivan's heart-stopping "Alone Again (Naturally)," Bill Withers soulful "Ain't No Sunshine," and includes a host of other well-known classics from the '60s and '70s.

Diamond also tackles hidden gems from his musical contemporaries such as "Don't Forget Me," from the late Harry Nilsson, and the Randy Newman compositions, "Feels Like Home," and the poignant "Losing You." Diamond gets down to the basics on this album, accompanied by a single guitar for Glenn Frey and Don Henley's cautionary "Desperado" and a breathtaking performance of Leonard Cohen's celebrated "Hallelujah."

Diamond even includes a never-before-heard reinterpretation of his own evergreen, "I'm a Believer," the biggest selling record of 1966, and a massive hit for the Monkees in a year when The Beatles dominated the airwaves.
