Neil Diamond: Stones

5 November 1971 · 56 YEARS

Stones

Neil Diamond

The singer poured significant effort into this collection, specifically the hit I Am...I Said which required months of lyrical adjustments. This release acts as an intimate portrait of the artist at that time, combining his usual narrative approach with a raw vulnerability.

Coming out in 1971, the record captures the move toward a folk-adjacent style within the singer-songwriter movement. You can detect his tenure at Uni Records, where he began merging polished string arrangements with the gritty sincerity that characterized his work during the early seventies.
