“Tap Root Manuscript” is the sixth studio album by Neil Diamond, released in 1970. It was one of the most experimental albums he ever recorded, featuring prominent African sounds and instruments. The album ended up being a commercial success, with a string of top 40 hits. This album predates many Western artists’ interest in world music by more than a decade, from Peter Gabriel’s 1980’s solo albums, to My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (David Byrne with Brian Eno) in 1981, to the Graceland album recorded by Paul Simon in 1986. It was one of the most novel experimental recording projects of its time, and the Uni label initially was not sure whether it would be commercially viable. It turned out to be one of Diamond’s most successful albums up to that point in his career, including one of his three #1 hits in his career, “Cracklin’ Rosie”. All songs were written and composed by Neil Diamond except “He Ain’t Heavy…He’s My Brother,” which was written and composed by Bob Russell and Bobby Scott. (more…)

“Velvet Gloves and Spit” is the third album by Neil Diamond. His first for MCA’s Uni label, it included three low-charting singles: “Brooklyn Roads” (#58), “Two-Bit Manchild” (#66) and “Sunday Sun” (#68). Upon its initial release in 1968, it only had ten songs. After the success of Diamond’s next three albums, it was re-issued in 1970 with a new sleeve and now included a remake of “Shilo”, a song that had previously been recorded for Bang Records, and had appeared on the preceding album, “Just For You”. His motivation for doing this was the release of the song as a single by his old record label with a new backing track and alternate vocal take recorded at Chips Moman’s American Studios in Memphis, and its chart position at #24 outselling Diamond’s concurrently-released single “Until It’s Time for You to Go”, which only reached #53. The album quotes: “Much credit for “The Pot Smoker’s Song” must go to the kids of Phoenix House in New York City. Without the cooperation and frankness of these young ex-drug addicts who are still struggling to find their way back, this “song” never could have been done.” On early U.K. copies, “The Pot Smoker’s Song” was replaced by a b-side titled “Broad Old Woman (6 A.M. Insanity).”
