In addition, there will be a special 36-page lyric book with guitar chords included in the packaging of each album.

Making this record with him has served as a profound reminder of what a powerful and amazing artist he truly is," he continued.

He delivers these songs with the passion of an artist fully committed to his craft, and in that warmly distinctive voice that has brought us so many Neil Diamond classics. All of us at Capitol are thrilled to be presenting Melody Road to the world.”
