IS HE TALKING ABOUT A WOMAN?!! NEIL DIAMOND - CRACKLIN ROSIE (REACTION)

[@strangeworldsunlimited712]

Neil was up in Canada, near a Native American reservation and heard a story about how there would be dances on the reservation. For the men who couldn't get dates for the dances, they would go to the store to buy a bottle of cheap wine, labeled Crackling Rosé. The bottle would be the man's "date" for the night. A "store-bought woman" they called Cracklin' Rosie.

[@michellewheatley2007]

Makes sense in a place that is short on females abd najes are the dominant gender.

[@Lakeshore14]

I think it would be a “Native Canadian” reservation since it was in Canada. 🇨🇦

Diamond wrote many of the Monkees songs. Some of Neil's other songs you will probably like are: "The Grass Won't Pay No Mind", "Solitary Man", "Holly Holy", "I Am, I Said", "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon", and "Shilo". Love watching y'all share our own love of the music, renewed.

I’m in tears. Made me remember riding with my dad in his truck and singing this song together. Such a great memory. Thank u for this song 🤗❤️

[@suffolkshepherd]

There is a great story behind this song that is about a bottle of wine. Last I seen you can still buy this wine. I read an interview by Neil Diamond he had performed a concert in a town that closed at dark. One of the employees of the concert place took him to the hotel where his room was. And left him. There was nothing to do and he was stranded. The town was dark, nothing to do. The only thing in the room was a basket with a bottle of cracklin Rose wine, crackers, cheese and fruit. He said "Well Rosie, I guess it just you and me tonight" he then sat down and wrote this song on a napkin in 25 minutes. Then released it and it instantly made him 35 million.

[@beeseewill2407]

Love Neil Diamond.Check out Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." Another sweet song is Neil Sedaka's "Lauhgter In Rain."

[@jamielandis4308]

Listen to Neil Diamond’s “America” off of “The Jazz Singer” album…a truly beautiful song. I saw him in concert in Baltimore back in ‘94…fantastic! “Love On The Rocks,” “Be,” “Longfellow Serenade,” oh so many songs!

[@raygrajeda6694]

Cracklin Rosie is a Bottle of Wine (Rose Red wine) and how it helps him write music by bringing out creativity. "Store bought woman you make me sing like a guitar hummin", "Maybe last for an hour, but thats alright, we got all night"

[@l.t.6180]

Great reaction! You clearly enjoyed that song. Neil Diamond is undoubtedly one of the best singer-songwriters ever. He sold over 130 million albums, sold out huge arenas and stadiums around the world and received numerous awards. Please react to other songs of this giant, with one of the most distinctive voices in modern pop music and tons of charisma. Try Solitary Man, Holly Holy, Brooklyn Roads, Soolaimon, Stones, Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, Dry Your Eyes, America, Beautiful Noise or even more recent songs like Hell Yeah, Pretty Amazing Grace, Nothing But A Heartache. You won't be disappointed!

[@beverlysanders4209]

Brother loves traveling salvation show is my favorite neil diamond song

[@ememnicholas565]

I was a teenager in the 70's. My eldest auntie was in her 60's and loved her some Neil Diamond. We were next door neighbors for a while when she retired. I used to open my windows and crank Neil Diamond for her. As soon as she heard it, you could see her windows opening up. A particular favorite was "Cherry Cherry" from the 60's. Rest in Peace Auntie Etta, hope you are listening to Neil in heaven.

[@cherylellsworth1787]

This from Google: The stories about how Diamond was inspired to write the song are apocryphal. "Crackling Rosé" is the name of an inexpensive sparkling wine once produced by Andres Wines of British Columbia, Canada, which was popular among the indigenous population. One story suggests that Diamond heard a story about a native Canadian tribe while doing an interview in Toronto, Canada-the tribe had more men than women, so the lonely men of the tribe would sit around the fire and drink their wine together-which inspired him to write the song.[2]

[@jogman262]

Neil tells the story of this song during his BBC concert 1971 which can be found on KZbin. Phil Donahue called Neil Diamond “ the poet of our time.” I think that’s very accurate. The man’s music has brought so much joy into my life.

[@757optim]

Between this and "Red Red Wine", Neil seems to have a theme going. : )

[@richmayes8451]

I do like a bit of Neil Diamond. One of my guilty pleasures. My favourite is Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon. Also, being the first Neil Diamond song that I remember as a kid, I really like Forever In Blue Jeans. Song Sung Blue is also one to listen to.

[@DonRice]

Great song, guys! Another one you might want to check out by Diamond is "Solitary Man". Johnny Cash also did a cover of that, and I'd call it a toss-up as to which is better.

Neil is a great song writer with a huge catalog. Another singer not done by many reactors is Harry Nilsson. The Beatles were huge fans of him and partied with him at every opportunity. His biggest hits were "Without You" "Everybody's Talking", "Jump Into The Fire" and "Coconut". "Everybody's Talking" is from the theme of Midnight Cowboy movie.
