Tap Root Manuscript is the sixth studio album recorded by Neil Diamond, released in October 1970. It was one of the most experimental albums he ever recorded, featuring rock music fused with prominent African sounds and instruments. The album was a commercial success, going Gold in three months, eventually certified Platinum by the RIAA. The album's success was powered primarily by "Cracklin' Rosie", his first number 1 single, with help from Diamond's cover of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", which rose to number 20. The latter song had been a major hit for the Hollies the previous year.

  • Tap Root Manuscript es un disco del cantante y compositor Neil Diamond grabado en 1970, que llegó en listas a la posición 13 del Pop en el Billboard (11-21-71).Contiene: 1. * Cracklin' Rosie 2. * Free life 3. * Coldwater morning 4. * Done too soon 5. * He ain't heavy, he's my brother 6. * Childsong (African Trilogy) 7. * I am the lion 8. * Madrigal 9. * Soolaimon 10. * Missa 11. * African Suite 12. * Childsong (reprise). Todas compuestas por Neil Diamond a excepción de «He ain't heavy, he's my brother» compuesta por Bob Rusell y Bobby Scott la cual llegaría en listas a las posiciones 20 en el Pop y 4 en el Adulto Contemporáneo, posteriormente esta canción sería número 7 en el Pop al ser interpretada por el grupo inglés The Hollies. Siendo esta última la versión más recordada de la canción. Las canciones del disco están creadas en una variedad de ritmos: «Cracklin' Rosie» (rosa marchita en español) es rock-pop y fue primer lugar en las listas del pop (8-22-70), Free Life es una canción en jazz-folk, «Coldwater Morning» es una balada y «Done Too Soon» (que trata de personajes famosos muertos prematuramente y fue escrita durante un vuelo en avión) es como una balada sinfónica. Las demás canciones son parte de un ballet folclórico entre gospel y melodías africanas titulado African Trilogy que habla de los tres momentos de la vida de un ser humano: nacimiento, madurez y muerte. Diamond solo canta en «I Am the Lion» y «Soolaimon». El trabajo orquestal y coral de este álbum hizo que Diamond empezara a ser catalogado como ambicioso, y le dio reconocimiento como compositor, posteriormente gracias a esto le ofrecerían hacer la pista sonora de la película Jonathan Livingston Seagull (Juan Salvador Gaviota). Algunas estaciones de radio pasaban el African Trilogy completo, pero en la mayoría solo tocaban «Soolaimon» (que significa la paz te acompañe), que llegó en listas del Pop a la posición 30, mientras que en las listas del Adulto Contemporáneo llegó a la posición 5. * Datos: Q7684373 (es)

The latter song had been a major hit for the Hollies the previous year. While the first side of the LP contained five pop rock songs, Side Two was a conceptual suite of related songs expressing an African theme, titled "The African Trilogy". Within this suite was the song "Soolaimon", which rose to number 30 in the US. The 19-minute suite saw African folk styles twined with blues and gospel elements to create what Diamond called "a folk ballet". This effort predates many Western pop artists' interest in world music, for instance Peter Gabriel's 1980 founding of World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD), and the African-influenced album Graceland by Paul Simon in 1986. Tap Root Manuscript was one of the most novel experimental recording projects of its time, and the Uni label, to which Diamond was then under contract, initially was not sure whether it would be commercially viable.
