1969 studio album by Neil Diamond From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Neil Diamond, released in 1969. Four months after the title cut became a #22 hit, Diamond recorded and released a new single, "Sweet Caroline", which reached #4. Because of its popularity, this song was added to the end of later pressings of the album, which was also given a new sleeve with the album shown as Sweet Caroline/Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show although the title was still written as Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show on the label.[1]

In his Allmusic retrospective review music critic William Ruhlmann observes, "At times, the album betrayed the speed with which it had been put together, with songs like "Dig In" and "River Runs, New Grown Plums" coming off more as unfinished sketches than developed compositions... Diamond may have been aware that the material was mostly second-rate."[1]
