I am listening to this CD as I type my review. I love this CD. It has an entire spectrum of music. The upbeat Mama Don't Know,Dancing in The Streets.("You can't sit still when the music is playing"), to the love songs like Shelter of Your Arms,Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" simply beautiful!..Try it w/headphones,fabulous voice on this man. GREAT MUSIC NEIL...THANKS

Sounds like I'm in the minority but I have the tape and love it enough to buy the CD as well!

September Morn has many covers,but the best are the few originals."Mama Dont Know" has an intoxicating techno beat and bassline,and Neil doing his "Brother Love" preacher thing.Love the big "Heal Me,Make Me Holy" chorus.A great song.

"That Kind" is also a great song-a very pretty old-hollywood tale.Kind of like a low key "Candle in the Wind".

the jazzy remake of "I'm A Believer" is well,interesting.

the only covers I like are "The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore"(amazing how melancholy and big-sounding Neil turned this little oldie) and "The Good Lord Loves You" (a strong cry for tolerance and peace instead of war).

September Morn is uneven though-why cover "Dancing in the Street" in 1979?Just sounds lightweight and weak.I always skip the title cut.And the "Stagger Lee" cover is a weak way to end this album.

I own the Album (!) and have loved it since I first placed it on the turntable. Beautiful songs with heartfelt meaning delivered as only Neil Diamond can. I own all of his albums and have never been disappointed ... but this ranks as one of my favorites.

One of his better albums, this collection of tunes is a representation of the Neil Diamond ballad. Easy Listening at its best.
