The 1985 Listening Post - Nils Lofgren - Flip

Nils Logren - Flip



#147
1985 Housekeeping
Nils Lofgren
Flip
Genre: Rock
3.75 out of 5


Highlights
Flip Ya Flip


I only know Lofgren from his guitar work with Bruce Springsteen. He’s kind of amazing to watch. And, during “If I Should Fall Behind” on the reunion album, I swore he was Patti Scialfa. His voice is clear, clean and delicate. It’s easy. As is his playing. When he sings that he’s “Destined to rock” on “King of the Rock” it’s hard to argue with him but also, you just know that Nils has only a small bit of Elvis in him. So, his rock is…gentle and unobtrusive. 
Too well done to be milquetoast. Too meek to matter.
