Neil Diamond is celebrating 50 years of music with a new box set, Neil Diamond 50 – The 50th Anniversary Collection. Beginning with his breakthrough single “Solitary Man,” the set collects 50 hand-picked favorites. Unlike many other box sets that include demo cuts or rare tracks, this is strictly a “best of” affair. Long time fans likely have all these songs already, but casual listeners may find this collection the perfect one-stop shop. Your mileage may vary.
Neil Diamond 50 drops on March 31, followed by a tour that is sure to inspire nightly sing-alongs. The track list is below. Click here to pre-order.
