Columbia Records will release Home Before Dark, the latest release from legendary artist Neil Diamond, on May 6, 2008. Produced by super-producer Rick Rubin (Johnny Cash, The Dixie Chicks), Home Before Dark’s first single is the hauntingly beautiful “Pretty Amazing Grace”.
The yet-unheard “Pretty Amazing Grace” will make its world debut on April 7, 2008 on Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN). Exclusive to the site, the video was filmed live, in-studio and will reside on Amazon solely for one week’s time. The album version of “Pretty Amazing Grace” can be found on Home Before Dark, which is available for immediate pre-order on Amazon, both in standard format for $9.99, and a deluxe version for $16.99.

“Neil Diamond’s music has spanned decades and continues to inspire,” said Peter Faricy, vice president of music and movies at Amazon.com. “We’re excited to debut his new song and in-studio video on Amazon.com. This is an extraordinary opportunity for Neil’s fans to get their very first glimpse of his latest work online.”
Home Before Dark marks the 27th studio album release in the Grammy winner’s storied career, consisting of over 125 million worldwide record sales, 3 dozen top 40 hits, and a Golden Globe. Neil Diamond will embark on a long awaited worldwide tour beginning May 24th in Rotterdam before he plays nine dates in the UK with plans to tour in the US later this summer.
