Tell Me More: "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.
