TENNESSEE MOON finds Neil Diamond duetting with Waylon Jennings, co-writing with Harlan Howard, and backed by the cream of modern country session musicians. It's his Nashville move, and it's bookended by two wonderful paeans to the country life. The album-opening title cut is a country-rocker that features some jangly electric guitar, pedal steel and fiddle, and a lyric about a songwriter leaving Hollywood behind and moving to Nashville in search of Hank Williams' spirit. "Blue Highway" is even better. Co-written by Diamond and Howard (author of "I Fall To Pieces," "Heartaches By The Number" and many other country standards), it rejects big-city life with the quiet authority of a cowboyish acoustic-guitar strum and a pledge to leave town via the side roads (because the interstate "represents all the things I hate").
As it happens, the sixteen cuts in between, written with various Nashville pros, leave Hollywood only half-behind. Diamond still possesses the cornball pop craft that's always served him ...


Editorial reviews
...Diamond has made his move into country. It's a shrewd gesture that underscores his commercial strengths: his blunt tunefulness and blustery machismo...
New York Times (03/31/1996)

3 Stars - Good - ...the sense of claustrophobia, aided by a distant steel guitar and the addition of Chet Atkins on `Blue Highway'...provide[s] the 18 tracks of TENNESSEE MOON an unexpected glow...
