Editorial Reviews

Nils must have formed a strong bond with Neil Young and his songs while touring and recording with him. He cuts straight to the heart of Harvest Moon; Long May You Run; Only Love Can Break Your Heart; Birds; The Loner; Winterlong; Wonderin' , and eight other Young tunes on this stirring 2008 tribute! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Loner is a loving tribute to rock's greatest songwriter, July 11, 2008

The Loner - Nils Sings Neil is as beautiful an album that lovers of acoustic folk will hear. Nils Lofgren, whose big break came in 1970 when Neil Young recruited him to participate in the making of the After The Gold Rush album, knows these songs well. And the love of Neil Young's sonic style is clear as Nils offers up sparse and compelling versions accompanied only by an acoustic guitar or baby grand piano. The highlights are the majestic Birds, romantic power of Like A Hurricane and confessional I Am A Child. This is clearly one of the best albums of Nils' career and one of the best releases of 2008.

cant say enough about this cd nils has captured the spirit of neil. i always thought they were kindred spirits. i have been a big fan of both and find this to be a great tribute to neil. nils contribution to goldrush was outstanding.his admiration shines through on each and every track. hes the right guy to be doing neil young songs. like to see the two of them do something together in the future.check out any of the othernils cds hes high energy. even his early work with grin is worth the listen.

Another album heard frequently on XM Deep Tracks 40. Love the stripped down Neil Young covers, and the liner notes make the whole experience all the more intimate. Ordered on Amazon - shipped from UK within the week.
