In Brief

*** Neil Diamond, “Up on the Roof--Songs From the Brill Building,” Columbia. A full program of hits from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Good stuff, with Diamond’s fascinating interpretations often contrasting dramatically with the original versions. Features “Don’t Be Cruel,” “I (Who Have Nothing),” “Don’t Make Me Over” and a memorable duet with Dolly Parton on “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’.”

New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
