Personnel: Nils Lofgren (vocals, guitar, piano).
Audio Mixer: Bill Wolf .
Author: Nils Lofgren.
Photographer: Danny Clinch.
Few people have as much a right to cover Neil Young songs as Nils Lofgren, once his protege in the early '70s and sideman on classic albums such as AFTER THE GOLD RUSH and TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. With tracks from those albums and many others, THE LONER: NILS SINGS NEIL--as its title suggests--foregrounds the hauntingly solitary quality at the core of Young's best writing by featuring only Lofgren accompanying himself on piano or guitar. Picking the very guitar, a Martin D-18 acoustic, Young gave him to use on GOLD RUSH--Nils delivers memorable performances of the Ontario bard's deeper chestnuts like Buffalo Springfield's "On the Way Home," TIME FADES AWAY's "Don't Be Denied," and a country-blues reworking of the TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT gem "World On a String" as well as more well known material.
