New Country Diamond Album Interprets Classic Neil Diamond Songs as Country Music Covers
EP by Happy Diamond Sings features country versions of Sweet Caroline, Play Me, and Holly Holy
United States, 17th Feb 2026 —The tribute artist Happy Diamond Sings today announced the release of Country Diamond, his latest EP, which features country music covers of the Neil Diamond classic songs Play Me, Sweet Caroline, and Holly Holy. The country cover of Sweet Caroline represents a first in the music industry. The EP is now available on iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify.
“To some, the idea of interpreting Neil Diamond in country style sounds like blasphemy, but if you listen, I think you’ll hear that Diamond’s artistry was made for country covers,” explained Happy Diamond Sings. “It’s a match made in music heaven, as far as I am concerned. Writing and performing these covers was a creatively satisfying undertaking of the highest order.”
Country Diamond is making its debut at a moment when Neil Diamond’s life and body of work are getting fresh exposure through the Song Sung Blue film and the A Beautiful Noise musical. Song Sung Blue, starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, tells the story of a Neil Diamond tribute artist. Hudson earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the film.
