Neil Diamond Premieres ‘Moonlight Rider’ Video – Exclusive
Neil Diamond has premiered a new lyric video for his track “Moonlight Rider” with UCR. It appears on his career retrospective box set, 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition, which was released via Capitol/UMe on Nov. 30. You can watch the video below:
The set contains a total of 115 tracks across six CDs, including demos, rarities and 15 unreleased songs, presented in a hardcover book. “Diamond’s unique connection with audiences the world over is evident all throughout the breadth of material presented on this box set,” the label said in a statement. “Witness the folk-rock reverie of ‘Solitary Man,’ the unbridled exuberance of ‘Cherry Cherry,’ the sweet acoustic twang of ‘Forever in Blue Jeans,’ the pure Americana swing of ‘Kentucky Woman,’ the eternal sing-along sunshine of ‘Sweet Caroline,’ the raw emotionality of ‘I Am…I Said,’ the welcoming arms of ‘America,’ and the deeply expressive heartlight that’s on full display in his chart-topping duet with Barbra Streisand, ‘You Don’t Bring Me Flowers,’ for just the tip of the iceberg of Diamond’s artistic achievements.”
The statement added that the disc of unreleased songs included “recently unearthed gems such as ‘Sunflower,’ written and recently updated by Neil Diamond, originally recorded by Glen Campbell, ‘Before I Had a Dime’ and ‘C’est La Vie,’ a song that Neil co-wrote with friend Gilbert Becaud. Meanwhile, the original demos of two of Diamond’s most indelible tracks, ‘I Am…I Said’ and ‘America,’ give listeners further insight into the creative process behind a pair of his most iconic songs.”
The box set is on sale now.
