5.0 out of 5 stars one of the great talents of the 70's, October 15, 2004

By	Daniel Rosenberg (Highland Park, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Very Best of Grin (Audio CD)

I never heard of Grin until three years ago, though of course I knew Nils Lofgren from his work with Neil Young. When my brother sent me this CD and I put it on, I couldn't figure out why Grin hadn't been more successful. Some of Lofgren's songs (White Lies, Moon Tears, We All Sung Together) should have been big hits. Maybe he needed a better publicist, or a better record company. The loss was mine, because I spent the first 30 years of my life unaware of this creative and enjoyable music. Lofgren was only in his teens when he recorded some of these songs, but they hold up incredibly well. Now I listen often, to make up for lost time. Highly recommended for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A near perfect retrospective, March 29, 2001

By	Jeffrey B. Henriques "jbhstats" (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Very Best of Grin (Audio CD)

Grin was a fantastic band in the early 1970's, but they never achieved the artistic success they so deserved. Nils Lofgren went on to a solo career that has been only slightly more successful, but this disc showcases the fantastic music that Grin produced. While Nils' guitar work sizzles (listen to "Moontears" or "White Lies"), it can also be very sweet (listen to "Rusty Gun" and be awed).

This CD has all of the Grin classics save one: "Direction," and if that song was included it would be perfect. Even with that omission the disc deserves 5 stars and it deserves a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a show, August 28, 2005

By	EagleViews "EagleViews" (Saratoga, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Very Best of Grin (Audio CD)

My first rock concert was in 1970 at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Maryland where Nils went to school (I was 11 years old). Grin played in the school gym and I sat on the stage in front of a PA. He was unbelievable and I was addicted to rock & roll forever. Thanks Nils - songs like Moon Tears, Like Rain and Slipper Fingers are just great music.
