There’s more to “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon” than the catchy chorus. Diamond skillfully navigates through several tempo changes and strumming styles, weaving in both string arrangements and flamenco romanticism. Somehow this song was completely off my radar until Urge Overkill covered it for the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. But I’ll take the original over the cover. One of Diamond’s most unique recordings from a long, storied career.

“Girl, you'll be a woman soon. Soon but soon, you'll need a man.”
