Beautiful Noise

On this 1976 album Diamond collaborates with The Band's Robbie Robertson, who produced this melodic and sentimental array of compositions. Here, the most ardent Neil Diamond fan will find heartwarming ballads, good-time standards and the feel-good songs. Robertson also contributes musically here, playing guitar on songs like the equally touching "Dry Your Eyes". Members of the Band, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko & Richard Manuel also played on the sessions along with a who's who of session musicians including Larry Knechtel, Dr. John, James Newton Howard, Jessie Ed Davis, Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon, Bob James, Richard Bennett & more. During the sessions for this album Diamond performed with the Band at their historic 'Last Waltz' farewell show.
