ND本人のproduceですが全く違和感が有りません。12SONGSから良い方向に変わったと思います。食わず嫌いの人も好んでくれると思います。今まで何回か他のアーチストのカバーをやって来た彼ですが、特に今回のアルバムは逸品と言えると思います。ただ、6曲目(オリジナル)は必要無かったと。特に今回は好きなjim WEATHERLYの作品を取り入れてくれて非常に嬉しいです。2人共日本ではメジャーではありませんが。前作のSPECIALEDITIONでもBOBDYLAN、NILSON、S&Gのカバーもやってました。45年来の彼のFANとしては、このアルバムを機会にもっと彼の良さを分かって欲しい。来年、彼のコンサートを見に9年ぶりに渡米します。一度で良いから日本に来て頂きたいです。彼の魅力は何てたってステージを観なきゃわかりません。

One of the Best Dreams
2010年11月6日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Where do I start, firstly by ignoring some of the reviews.
I preordered this album & awaited its delivery with anticipation of the brilliance that is Neil Diamond, like some others I was looking forward to a new album of new songs, anyway it arrived & was played straight away & then....
As each track unfolded I was taken to another place, yes they are all, but one, someone elses words, but they are Neil Diamond interpretations & as such are all worthy of being on this album. I can only recall a few of these tracks from other artists, but Neil has given them all his personal touch.
Blackbird, Last Train To Georgia & Don't Forget Me are haunting & enchanting, whilst I'm A Believer is well worthy of being on here, always a great song & now with a brilliant new arrangement which suits Neils current style, very pleasant & in itself a new creation.
I bought my first Neil album using money from my 13th birthday, that was over 30 years ago, Cracklin' Rosie being the first track played from my first Neil Diamond album. Over the years I have bought every new release & found back catalogues on vinyl, of all the albums purchased & songs released there are only about 10 songs that ever get skipped on the odd occasion, with this album there may occassionaly be a skipped track but currently every track is played & enjoyed for what it is worth, another masterpiece. 12 Songs took a few plays to appreciate its quality & deep meaning, but after attending his concert & the live rendition of Hell Yeah this album had a new lease of life, but with Dreams this was not the case, just plain & simple but brilliant interpretations.
It is easy listening & as ever you can hear what he is singing & not strain to make up what you think he is singing, for those who think he has lost it & can't sing, all I can say is listen & watch him on November 13th at his performance on the Electric Proms, for someone who is almost 70 years old he can still knock most of the so called younger artists into a cock hat.
If you are looking for an album full of Neil in his 1970's prime you will not find it on here, but this is without doubt a very worthy release & worth every penny of my money, I have no hesitation in giving this 5 stars, not for Neils song writing, arrangement or production, but pureley because it is what it says in the title, a Dream to listen to, relax, unwind & enjoy.

Neil Diamond Hits Another Home Run
2010年11月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I pre-ordered Neil Diamond's "Dreams" CD on Amazon.com and it arrived only two days after the November 2nd release date. As soon as I could find the time, I loaded the fourteen songs onto my iPod and began listening. As I listened to the first track, Neil's interpretation of the Bill Withers hit "Ain't No Sunshine", I immediately fell in love with what I was hearing and looked forward in anticipation to Diamond's renditions of the other 13 songs on the CD: his favorite songs of the Rock Era. After listening to all of them, I concluded that I like his interpretations of each one. I especially appreciate the ones that I remember the most from my past (as performed by the original artists): Ain't No Sunshine, Alone Again (Naturally), Midnight Train to Georgia, I'm A Believer, A Song for You, Yesterday, Let It Be Me, and Desperado. Each song has been beautifully arranged by Alan Lindgren, Diamond's long-time keyboard player.
At least one reviewer who has given the CD a poor rating felt that Neil was singing off key in places. While I admit that I do not have "perfect pitch", I have listened carefully to these recordings a number of times and I did not detect any notes that sounded off key to me. Besides Neil works with some of the best musicians, sound engineers, etc. in the business that would have easily recognized any vocal errors and would have then asked that those parts be re-recorded. Also, in my opinion, any criticisms of Diamond's vocals are unwarranted. For a singer who will soon be celebrating his 70th birthday in January 2011, I think Neil's voice sounds great. I feel that I am qualified to make this observation since I have been a Neil Diamond fan for over 40 years and am very familiar with his talent and abilities.
As much as I prefer the recordings of songs that were penned by Diamond, in many respects, this CD of covers of other performers' hits is his best work of the decade. I base this on the fact that I cannot get these songs, and Diamond's interpretations of them, out of my head. I woke up in my bed at 2:00 a.m. the same night that I first listened to this CD to find "Midnight Train to Georgia" playing in my mind. The original recording by Gladys Knight and the Pips is awesome and Neil's version is captivating due to its uniqueness and totally different arrangement and feel.
The orchestration in these songs is simple, dominated by guitars and keyboards along with a limited number of other instruments and rare backup vocals included to augment the sound of each song. There are no drums and very little percussion. It is this simplicity and Neil's heart-felt vocals that make these songs special. I highly recommend "Dreams" to all of Diamond's fans and especially to anyone who loves and appreciates beautifully-performed, masterfully-recorded, emotionally-charged, heartwarming songs.

Neil Diamond has sold millions, yet why is he considered a guilty pleasure? Lumped in with John Denver and Barry Manilow, two stalwarts of 1970's adult contemporary schmaltz and schmooz, Diamond's music had a place and audience back then. It's sad, really, that music channels and radio stations no longer have a niche for this type of great talent. I've always liked Neil Diamond, particularly 1980's "The Jazz Singer". But something happened after that. Times changed quickly, and Diamond's music was no longer being played to the masses. This seems to happen to all great artists--they have their time, and then they're quickly deemed disposable and irrelevant.
Enter Rick Rubin in 2005 for Diamond's "12 Songs". Rubin knows how to strip Diamond down and play to his strengths, particularly on 2008's "Home Before Dark" which was even better. I have no doubt that Diamond will continue to deliver with Rubin in the future. After all, Rubin worked wonders on Johnny Cash.
So, I normally hate/dread when an artist decides to do an entire album's worth of cover songs. Before I listened to "Dreams" I read Neil's note to his fans inside the cd booklet. I get what Neil Diamond is saying about wanting to cover songs he feels strongly about. So with open mind I gave "Dreams" its fair listen. To my surprise, I liked what Diamond decided to do with the songs--strip them down. In fact, some of the songs I heard in an entirely different light, now hearing clearly what the lyrics were ("Alone Again (Naturally)" for example).
Now I also understand if people don't like this intimate approach to all the songs, but most of these songs were ballads to begin with. I also understand if people think Diamond's vocals have been better. I think the same way, but I like how his vocals have aged, just like Johnny Cash's vocals became gravelly and hoarse with age.
So let's look at the tracks. "Ain't No Sunshine" remains pretty similar to the original by Bill Withers. "Blackbird" is decent, though not as good as the original by The Beatles. "Alone Again (Naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan is done justice. Randy Newman's "Feels Like Home" is also done nicely. Gladys Knight & The Pips' "Midnight Train To Georgia" is also decent. The fact that Diamond covers his own song, "I'm A Believer" is maybe the only misstep here. It's rather self-aggrandizing to cover your own songs under the premise Diamond explains in the liner notes.
Randy Newman re-appears with "Losing You" which Diamond does a nice job of. Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" has been covered so many times that this version may have been another misstep. I mean Rufus Wainwright's version is the best cover version hands down. Leon Russell's "A Song For You" is not as good as The Carpenter's definitive version. The Beatles re-appear with "Yesterday" which has also been covered a gazillion times, and only The Beatles have done it justice. The Eagles' "Desperado" is done nicely.
There were three songs here that I was not familiar with: Lesley Duncan's "Love Song" is rather obscure to me. I did not realize that I had Elton John's version on his "Tumbleweed Connection". Diamond does this song justice, and in fact, it's one of the more moving songs on "Dreams". The Everly Brothers' "Let It Be Me" is also rather obscure, though again, I own the song but didn't realize it. Diamond's version is very good here. Harry Nilsson's "Don't Forget Me" is also another obscurity which I have now purchased, and Diamond does a great job here, too.
Overall, "Dreams" is decent. It's not his best work, but it is a surprisingly pleasant collection of covers. Now, on with the next Rick Rubin produced album Neil!

Dreams, Neil Diamond - A bit of a revelation
2010年11月12日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I must confess that before hearing this I knew pretty much nothing about Neil Diamond and his previous recordings. This means that I can review this release without any preconceptions based on his earlier recordings.
I first came across this when a friend of mine played me `Blackbird', an elegant cover of the Beatles classic. After hearing this I just had to buy the album. Diamond has taken a set of well known songs from, as he calls it, the rock era, and re-interpreted them in his own style. When people mess with classics it can all go wrong, but Diamond manages to really pull it off and produce a record of soul stirring gentle and thoughtful tracks.
The tracks are stripped back and feature Diamond's voice and guitar prominently with simple, unobtrusive backing. The pace is generally quite slow and relaxed. With this approach Diamond manages to take well known tracks and add alayer of emotional intensity to them. Standout is the opener `Ain't No Sunshine'. Stripped of Bill Wither's powerful vocals and big musical backing, this is now a simple track in which Diamond puts across the aching pain of separation from his lover beautifully. I love the original, but now I think I prefer this one. Second on the album is `Blackbird', now transformed into a country tinged track with a really elegant tone. The unobtrusive fiddle is an absolute joy and just makes the track for me.
Diamond re-interprets `I'm a believer', which I hadn't realised he wrote. Again there are no fireworks, this is just a man gently singing about the joy that love has brought him. Much more poignant than the electric guitar driven Monkees original. Then Diamond takes on Leonard Cohen's `Hallelujah'. He doesn't mess around with it, staying pretty faithful to Cohen's original recording. This fits in well with the general mood of the piece, and is a great cover of this great song.
I am not familiar with the original recordings of the rest of the tracks so cannot draw comparisons, but the musicianship, gentle vocals and emotional intensity are the same throughout.
I thoroughly enjoyed this record, and am now off to explore a bit of Diamond's back catalogue. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys simple music well played, where the lyrics are allowed to shine through.
