About this album

Rainbow finds Neil Diamond moving beyond pure pop stardom to interpret contemporary folk and songwriter material with warmth, clarity and commercial polish. Issued in 1973, the album places his distinctive baritone against songs associated with Joni Mitchell, Harry Nilsson, Gordon Lightfoot and others, turning familiar material into something recognisably his own. The result reinforces Diamond’s skill as an interpreter as well as a hitmaker, balancing intimacy with the glossy, radio-ready production that defined much of his early-1970s work. It is a strong example of his ability to bridge adult pop and the singer-songwriter era without losing mainstream appeal.
