Editorial Reviews
Nils Lofgren's new solo album release is a classic Nils, rock album featuring a collection of 12 songs. 11 are new originals by Nils and ""Irish Angel"" is beautiful ballad written by Bruce McCabe that Nils has been performing in his shows recently. ""Let Her Get Away"" is a haunting acoustic gem co-written with Root Boy Slim. Featuring rough, raw blues dobros and searing electric guitars to beautiful acoustic tracks, ""Old School"" is classic Nils at his diverse best. Featuring the legendary Paul Rodgers, Lou Gramm and Sam Moore as guest vocalists, this album has it all and promises to rank among his best.

Personally I think that this is the best album Nils has done since his 1975 self titled album Nils Lofgren and Cry Tough way back in the mid 70's. It's that good.

In my many years of being a "rocker" and digging most everyone from the Stones to Bruce, I do not know how I overlooked Nils Lofgren. Nils has taken me to school with his new album. I am prompted to search out his previous releases. Hard to pick a favorite track because every one on Old School is great. Nils' songwriting is outstanding and the songs flow with changes that reward repeated listenings. Production, musicianship by supporting band members and recording quality are all first class. Had I heard this album in 2011 it would have received my vote for one of the best CDs of the year.
P.S. The group dog picture in the foldout is priceless! Thanks to Nils for including it.

Wow its been a long time since I've heard a really solid classic "old school" rock album -- strong from start to finish with great songs and great playing. Maybe since Ian Hunter's last album? Tapers off a little at the end (was hoping for one more final kick a** song) but terrific through and through and very strongly recommended.

Lofgren's Matures
I've been a fan of his since his early days in Washington DC area, following him in his 'Grin' days. This album shows his maturity.. his words well chosen, the guitar riffs smooth. Read more

Lots of passion but hard to enjoy
I love the guitar playing and composition, still fresh and innovative after so many years. But Nils, I LIKE your voice and there's so little to listen to and enjoy on this CD. Read more

Best Nils cd since Wonderland
Really the strongest cd he's done since Wonderland. All the songs are good. Guest appearances by guys like Paul Rodgers and Lou Graham help, but don't over-shadow Lofgren. Read more
