In a career that has spanned an impressive sixty years, the great American troubadour, Neil Diamond, has given the world plenty of hits (and a few misses). One of the more fascinating moments in this career came when he joined forces with Robbie Robertson of The Band (much to the chagrin of Robertson's bandmates) for 1976s Beautiful Noise. While the album produced little in the way of commercial hits, it contains some of Diamond's most moving, sentimental, and admired songs (the album's closing track, Dry Your Eyes, was notably covered by Sinatra).
For the penultimate episode of Season 2 of Listen Closely with Jon & Chris, the co-hosts honor the incomparable Neil Diamond on the occasion of his 80th birthday (January 24th), and take a closer look and listen at this nostalgic 1976 ode to Tin Pan Alley and to days of yore.
