Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

23 June 2023

Guitar hero NILS LOFGREN (born in Chicago 71 years ago) made a big name
for himself by playing/recording/performing with giants Neil Young and Bruce
Springsteen but also with his solo work.

He’ll have a new one out, named Mountains, on 21 July. Pre-order info here.

He already shared 2 pieces of it. Two mellow ones. Nothin’ Easy (For Amy)
written for his wife Amy and Ain’t The Truth Enough and here’s number three.
A bluesy 60s vintage rocker called WON’T CRY NO MORE (FOR CHARLIE WATTS)

Lofgren: “Without the Beatles, Stones, (Jimi) Hendrix, this music of mine wouldn’t exist.
I was so furious and hurt when Charlie Watts died, I turned to his music for solace, desperate for connection and inspiration through the grief. Needed his musical spirit to cope and found
it. One raw riff to sing for him. Miss you, Charlie.”

R.I.P. Charlie.
Tune in.

Following the first single Ain’t The Truth Enough written “in the wake of the January 6th insurrection, reckons with the ways that misinformation and demagoguery can tear families apart and silo us in our own realities,” comes second taster NOTHIN’ EASY (FOR ARMY).
A song about his beloved wife Amy.

Neil Young, his amigo of 54 years, assists him on vocals. Lovely.

Listen.

NILS LOFGREN – Guitar Legend Who Played And Performed With Neil Young And Springsteen Goes Solo Again

New striking strokes

4 May 2023

Guitar hero NILS LOFGREN (born in Chicago 71 years ago) made a big name
for himself by playing/recording/performing with giants Neil Young and Bruce
Springsteen but also with his solo work.

He has just announced a new solo one, baptized
MOUNTAINS. Out on 21 July. Pre-order info here.

The first single AIN’T THE TRUTH ENOUGH. It was written by Lofgren
“in the wake of the January 6th insurrection and “reckons with the ways that
misinformation and demagoguery can tear families apart and silo us in our
own realities.”

He invited Ringo Starr to play drums.

Ain’t The Truth Enough is a classic reflective rock song with a country feel with
nostalgic synths, gospel-like backing vocals and, of course, Lofgren‘s affecting
Americana voice.

Tune in.

Waking Up With Legendary Guitarist NILS LOFGREN And CRAZY HORSE

Posted on by JL

Works faster than caffeine

To be honest, I lost track of how many albums NEIL YOUNG, new and old,
live LPs from his Archives, solo or with CRAZY HORSE released the past
few years.

What I do know is that another one with Crazy Horse is coming up.
It’s named ALL ROADS LEAD HOME and lands on 31 March.

It features the original horses Ralph Molina, Billy Talbot and Nils Lofgren.
Each member wrote three songs with different musicians, except Neil.

It all started as a pandemic project for CH. Young was brought on board
later, his sole writing credit being a live solo version of “Song Of The Seasons”,
from the 2021 Crazy Horse album Barn.

1. “Rain” (Billy Talbot)
2. “You Will Never Know” (Nils Lofgren)
3. “It’s Magical” (Ralph Molina)
4. “Song Of The Seasons” (Neil Young)
5. “Cherish” (Billy Talbot)
6. “Fill My Cup” (Nils Lofgren)
7. “Look Through The Eyes Of Your Heart” (Ralph Molina)
8. “The Hunter” (Billy Talbot)
9. “Go With Me” (Nils Lofgren)
10. “Just For You” (Ralph Molina)

The first taster is a song written and sung by legendary guitarist
NILS LOFGREN who also played for several years with Springsteen’s
E-Street Band and released multiple solo albums.


Young Nils

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW is an easy-going,
electrical, retro country rocker.

Listen.
