NEIL DIAMOND TO PERFORM AT MYSPACE SECRET SHOW IN NEW YORK

New Album Home Before Dark In Stores May 6, 2008 (TODAY)!

Legendary singer, songwriter and performer Neil Diamond will perform at a special free MySpace Secret Show, Wednesday, May 7th at New York City's The Bitter End exclusively for the MySpace community. For more information about this show visit the official MySpace Secret Shows profile HERE.

Diamond's highly anticipated new album, HOME BEFORE DARK, his second collaboration with renowned producer Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, Mick Jagger, Tom Petty), will be released the day before on Columbia Records. His last album, also with Rubin, 12 Songs premiered exclusively on MySpace. Like all great Neil Diamond albums, HOME BEFORE DARK is a powerful work, crossing generational lines with an extraordinary range and level of songcraft. Imbued with the same style of inspired melodies that has made his music so enduring, the album's highlights include the stunning lead single "Pretty Amazing Grace" and a striking duet with the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines entitled "Another Day (That Time Forgot)." The new collection was written by Diamond and recorded in Los Angeles with guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), bassist/acoustic guitarist Smokey Hormel and guitarist Matt Sweeney. The album will also be available as a deluxe version that includes two bonus tracks and a DVD with rare footage of Diamond in the studio. To coincide with the release, Diamond will be launching a 37-City North American Tour starting on July 19th in St. Paul, Minnesota.

With a four-decade career that has seen 125 million records sold worldwide, 36 Top 40 hits, a Grammy, a Golden Globe, thousands of sold-out shows all over the globe, and more than 50,000 friends on MySpace, Neil Diamond remains a vital and innovative force in modern music.
