Home Before Dark consists of original songs composed by Neil Diamond, in addition to some remakes. It was produced by Rick Rubin and mixed by Dana Nielsen. Its orchestral parts were arranged and conducted by David Campbell, also renowned for his contributions to albums by artists as diverse as The Rolling Stones, Post Malone and Elton John. The original album was led by the single “Pretty Amazing Grace,” while the deluxe edition features two new bonus tracks, “Without Her” and “Make You Feel My Love.”
The new edition of Home Before Dark follows on from the digital deluxe reissue of Diamond’s 2005 album 12 Songs. Arriving nearly two decades after the original album, the new version of that title delivered 15 new bonus tracks to streaming and download, some for the very first time. The new offerings include demos, early take, alternate takes, and alternate mixes of beloved Diamond tracks like “Oh Mary,” “Delirious Love,” and “Save Me a Saturday Night.”
