About The Record:

Rainbow by Neil Diamond, is a compilation album of intimate folk-pop covers originally released on UNI and MCA labels, reissued as a budget-line collection featuring Diamond's emotive interpretations of 1960s classics. A unique and historically significant aspect is its role in showcasing Neil Diamond's early work as a sensitive singer-songwriter interpreter, bridging his folk roots with the lush production style that would define his later pop career, with tracks recorded between 1968 and 1972. Standout fan-favorites include the wistful Mr. Bojangles, the poignant If You Go Away, and the tender Both Sides Now. The album itself became a major commercial success, reaching No. 9 on the Billboard 200.
