''12 Songs'' is an album by Neil Diamond, released in 2005. It was his first album of all-original, all-new material since 2001's ''Three Chord Opera''. It was produced by Rick Rubin and is often erroneously cited as the first Diamond album since the Bang Records era to feature the artist playing guitar.

The working title for the album was self-titled. The original pressing of the album was copy-protected using Sony's controversial XCP technology. - Wikipedia
