I'm not a huge Neil Diamond fan, but...
This is from "Traproot Manuscript". Diamond, a Brooklyn boy, went south looking for rock and roll/blues origins. (He wrote "Brother Loves Travelin' Salvation Show" while there. He also wrote "She's so Sweet Horsefly's keep gatherin' 'round her face" there). Not content, he went to Africa to continue the search. This song is from that experience. I have always liked it, and am not sure why.
