5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect marriage, 12 Jun 2008
By Eric Ambleside (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Nils Lofgren and Neil Young go back a long, long way, and Nils has contributed to many of Neil's great moments over the years. So this is not the average tribute album, and it is full of very much not-average performances. Nils' voice is not dissimilar in pitch to the legend that is Neil, and this gives his vocals here a slightly eerie echo of their writer and his unique singing style. All of the songs are played straight by Nils alone, on guitar and piano. Even the guitar was a gift from Neil way back in 1970, and the piano is an emotion-drenched family heirloom belonging to Nils' wife.

So these performances are invested with years of life and love, and Lofgren delivers - ironically, bearing in mind his own song-writing talents - probably one of the very best recordings of his long career. Apparently it was recorded mostly at Nils' home. It's hard to pick highlights from such an illustrious list of songs, so I won't bother. But the quality of Neil's songs shines through, beautifully accented with care and skill by Lofgren's always wonderful guitar and piano playing.

A wonderful CD, low key but gorgeous, a heartfelt tribute from one legend to another.

I look forward to Nils sings Bruce! Now that could be wonderful as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nils Lofgren's tribute to Mr Young and makes them sound like his own songs, 9 Jun 2008
By Mr. A. W. Riggs "bernard shakey" (Wallington, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Always dodgy territory a tribute record but I guess Nils has a special place in Neil's music having played on some Neils's very best records. Nils has managed to stamp his own style on these songs, anyone familiar with these songs will see that they reflect numerous passages of Neil's career. Nils makes them sound like his own and different, great songs like this deserve a wide audience. Long may they both run.

5.0 out of 5 stars NILS STRIPPED TO THE BARE ESSENTIALS, 12 Jun 2008
Taking into account the history of Nils involvement with Neil Young this is a fine tribute.To enjoy this record you have to imagine this is Nils playing in your front room with either piano or guitar and just to you,thats how stripped down this is. As a guitarist he is up there with the best, but this cd shows another side to the magic of Nils Lofgren.Buy and enjoy!
