Following his back-to-back collaborations with Rick Rubin (2005's 12 Songs and 2008's chart-topping Home Before Dark), Diamond has released a Christmas album, which included three original tunes, and the covers collection Dreams.
Talking about the bands live set, Jimmy reflected on the need local bands often have for playing covers amongst their own material: "It's ok if you pick the covers that fit with your original material, it's quite nice to take some tracks and do them in your own way".
