In defense of...Neil Diamond

The Music & Theory Podcast

Show Notes

--- yup, you read that right, ...Neil Diamond In defense of.... a new kind of episode. A 20 or so minute discussion about a musician / band who 'might' be misrepresented and/or misunderstood by most. In some cases there's a good reason - in others, maybe not. In our premier of this new installment, Steve tries to convince Mike that Neil Diamond is no joke. Mike is a huge fan of the movie Saving Silverman so...Steve's got his work cut out for him. Give it a listen and let us know what you think. Are you convinced? Be on the lookout for other "In defense of..." episodes from time to time. Have an artist who fits the mold? Send 'em our way and we'll take a look! Also....Steve wanted to add that he forgot to mention that Mr. Diamond was also responsible for the brilliance that is, "Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon." A song, like many others, initially written by Neil Diamond and covered by countless musicians- some of which may surprise you. Listen in for the rest.
