Customer Reviews:

Great debut.......2006-12-31

A terrific solo debut that was unfortunatly never matched by his follow ups, this disc fulfilled the promise he showed with Grin and his stint with Crazy Horse.It has a few weak moments lyrically,(Duty), but overall his songwriting is solid and guitar playing exceptional. Included is one of the best covers of a Carol King tune ever, Goin' Back. When released it was a refreshing bit of pop/rock in an era of wretched excess.

it's the best of all-time.......2006-06-28

I just saw Nils Lofgren in Chicago. I told him to his face that this is the best album of all-time. Yes, it would barely beat out Born to Run by the Boss. Best songs in order: If I say it's So, Rock n Roll Crook, Sun Hasn't Set, Back it Up, I Don't Wanna Know, Keith Don't Go, Duty, Another Saturday Nite, Two by Two and Carole King's Goin Back.
Super, super, super.

My alltime favorite guitar player...........2006-03-01

Nils Lofgren is, or was in the '70's the most original guitar player around. He only sounde like Nils and nobody else. This LP and "Frampton" were my favorites at the time they were released, both on A&M records, at that time. I was actually a little pissed when he joined up with Springsteen as I concluded that his solo career was doomed. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't but this along with "Cry Tough"...(where is that CD?????)defined his career. "The sun hasn't set on this boy yet" was under my HS senior picture in my yearbook. I first saw Nils in '76 at the Schaeffer music festival in Central Park and then again in the early '80's at The Bottom Line and he blew me away with his guitar playing both times.

One of the great rock 'n' roll albums.......2005-09-01

This is one of my favorite records ever. It is a real gem with great songs--Back It Up, Keith Don't Go, Going Back, Rock 'n' Roll Crook--and brilliant playing. It should have been a big hit. I have purchased nearly everything that Nils ever recorded since in the hopes that it would equal this great disc. While he has made some fine recordings, this is his best guitar rock effort.

Great record by a great artist!.......2005-04-20

This 1975 debut album by Nils Lofgren as a solo artist (formerly a member of Grin) is one of my favorites and contains great singing and even better playing. The band featured ace drummer Aynsley Dunbar, whose tasteful and solid playing laid a bedrock that Nils built some great songs on top of. "If I Say It's So," "Rock 'n' Roll Crook" and "I Don't Wanna Know" are wonderful, and Nils version of Carole King's "Goin' Back" is one of the best covers I've ever heard. The guitar and vocals on "Two By Two" are haunting. The 1976 follow-up album, "Cry Tough" contained some left over tracks from these sessions, like "Incidentally, It's Over," as well as newer tunes like the title track and "It's Not A Crime," which featured the exceptional talents of Al Kooper, Chuck Rainey, and Jim Gordon.
I WANT "CRY TOUGH" ON CD! AND I WANT IT NOW!
