The Diamond Hand is the third studio album by American singer Shawn Smith. Announced in 2005[1] and released in 2008, it followed Smith's 2003 album Shield of Thorns. The album received generally positive reviews.
Tour[edit]
In 2008, Smith embarked on a tour for the album.[3]
Reception[edit]
Allmusic described the album as a "joy," and that "Whether it's the shuffling beats and piano on "Losing Home" or the stirring surge of "Toss It in the Fire," one of the better anthems for a pantheistic approach out there at present, Smith pretty well nails it song for song."[1] Smith's label, Sound vs Silence, expressed a similar sentiment, calling the album a "masterpiece," and that it includes "Classic vocals and piano, intermingled with some good old-fashioned Rock & Roll!"[2]
