Neil Diamond's Wild At Heart: Trilogy's Final Act

0:00On April 19th, Neil Diamond is dropping his new album, Wild at Heart, on May 8th, 2026. It's the third and final piece in his trilogy, with producer Rick Rubin, wrapping up a collaboration that started strong years ago. This 10 song set pulls from old sessions but feels fresh, with Diamond's raw vocals over simple guitars and keys. The partnership kicked off with 12 songs back in 2005, which fans loved right away. Then came home before dark in 2008, Diamond's first number one on the Billboard charts, packed with personal tracks that hit hard. Critics called it some of his best work, full of heart and grace. Diamond teamed up with top players like Ben Montench and Mike Campbell, from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, plus other heavy hitters on guitar. He dubbed the vibe, saying it was pure magic in the studio. Now, revisiting those tapes, he added nine new songs in a fresh take on one old track. You'll get it on CD, vinyl, or digital through Capital and You Me.
