For anyone who only knows of Nils Lofgren through him being a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, they are missing out on a great deal of his history and some fine music. At the age of nineteen, Nils played on Neil Young's After the Gold Rush album. He subsequently joined Crazy Horse for a short while. He then formed his own band, Grin. Grin would last for about four years and produce some critically, if not financially, successful albums.
That brings us to 1975. Nils would then go on to record his first solo album. Like the Grin albums, this was also critically praised for being a great rock/pop-rock album. He would then release several more solo albums before joining the aforementioned E Street Band in 1984.
Here is my favorite track from the first solo album.
