NILS LOFGREN WILL FACE THE MUSIC MAY 27
 
Ten-disc boxed set from triple-threat musician
surveys Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s
45-year career; out on Fantasy Records May 27.
 
 
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The stellar work of singer-songwriter-guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Nils Lofgren receives a comprehensive retrospective in Face the Music, a definitively annotated nine-CD/one-DVD boxed set that takes in Lofgren’s 45-year solo career, due from Fantasy Records on May 27, 2014.
 
The collection’s music component, selected by Lofgren himself, comprises 169 tracks, stretching back to Lofgren’s early work with his Washington, D.C.-area band Grin, which he founded at the age of 17 in 1968, and surveying both his major-label solo albums and independent self-released music. Two of the CDs contain 40 previously unreleased tracks and rarities. The DVD features 20 video clips selected from a body of performances as diverse as Nils’ career.
 
A detailed, lavishly illustrated 136-page booklet, with an introduction by noted rock journalist Dave Marsh, contains Lofgren’s track-by-track commentary and personal reflections on his work, as well as his tours of duty as a sideman with such luminaries as Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, and Ringo Starr. The set also contains homages to Lofgren by such colleagues as Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, Sting, Bono, and Paul Rodgers.
 
In its entirety, the set gives a full-length, intimately detailed picture of the performer Neil Young — who hired the 18-year-old Lofgren to play piano and guitar on After the Gold Rush in 1969 — calls “an inspiration to me for many years.” A true triple threat, Lofgren has distinguished himself as the writer of melodic, affecting, and hard-rocking songs, a sensitive and seemingly ageless singer, and a guitarist of incomparable power and imagination.

We say "solid" but we mean "solid shit", the one that hurts when it's turtle necking. I don't see the point in such those setlists. There's a lack of structure in the last tours.

He's touring just for (his) fun. Magic tour was the last "real" tour. Now it's just "guess the next cover" or let's hope he plays an oldie with not too much fuck up. When you attend a show hoping to hear an outtake from The Promise, you really reached the bottom (line).

No news one way or the other... lets wait a few days and see if they start showing up - JLM can't possible be as ignorant about this as it appears.

Why yes...

Yes he can.

 "Hey man, did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud" 

 

It really is getting boring, where is OITS? Two shows on the bounce, it will soon become a rarity.!!  Bruce please put spirit to bed, it's getting painful now, yeah yeah..!! Think our hero needs to get off the road, sit at home n play his own albums, think he has forgotten most of the stuff he has written

Two kinds of people in this world, those who love Bruce & those who have never seen him play live!!
