"Pretentious jowly mumrock: Neil Diamond’s Hot August Night III reviewed"
Revisionism has been unduly kind to Diamond. But there ain’t no revisionism in this column, matey
For The Spectator by Rod Liddle
September 1, 2018
Mumrock. A lucrative genre, dating from the beginning of the 1970s, when Mums suddenly wanted something a little bit hip. My own mother briefly succumbed to the inane imagery and kindergarten melody of ‘Song Sung Blue’, sometime in 1972, before she moved on to more sophisticated stuff (Gilbert O’Sullivan, as I recall). This is Diamond’s 40th anniversary collection of hits, live or otherwise.... -Liddle
