September Moan
A terrible album. Apart from the title track, this has some of his worst efforts. Whatever happened to the inspired artist that wrote terrific songs and made equally good covers? Here he destroys quality songs written by some great artists. A total waste of time, effort & money. If you are looking for the true Neil Diamond, start with the 60s and work your way through the 70s. However, after "The Jazz Singer", be very, very selective
A great CD from a great singer
This is a classic disk that is essential to any collection of Diamond CDs. It starts off with the famous ballad title track September Morn and then continues with the jazzy Mama Don't Know. My favourite tracks are That Kind, The Good Lord Loves You, The Shelter of Your Arms, and The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore all superb ballads. Diamond recorded a newer version of his famous 60's classic I'm A Believer and experiments with a number of jazz style tracks -- a great CD!!!
Beginning of the end
This album marks the beginnings of Mr Diamond's fall from grace.
The songs are lacklustre, with only the title track having anything like an emotional kick. The covers are embarrasingly awful, further highlighting the fact that when on form, Diamond had always managed to add a little something to even the most mundane of his songs. Prime examples are the version of Dancing in the Streets and Stagger Lee.
There is a high level of production in the album, but that only makes matters worse, because some of the songs cry out for a simpler, almost acoustic touch.
Of his subsequent albums, only the soundtrack to 'The Jazz Singer' comes anywhere near his peak as a singer/songwriter.
This is also a time when something strange appears to have happened to both his voice and his singing style. The songs are now more spoken than sung, and occasionally Diamond sounds more like Sylvester Stallone than the great singer he was.
This album is only for die hard fans, of which I know there are plenty.
