Nils Lofgren has jammed with Crazy Horse, Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.  Besides his stellar guitar work backing others, he has also released many solo albums.  His latest is a tribute to his longtime friend and musical collaborator Neil Young:  "The Loner: Nils Sings Neil". 

Nils covers the early days of meeting Neil to the behind the scenes making of his new album.  His laid-back, honest and passionate  conversation makes this a do-not-miss episode for anyone who loves rock & roll history.  You'll even hear a clip of two of his Neil Young covers...very impressive!

The first 11 minutes is Duffy. We chatted on the couch in the SPIN Magazine Press Lounge backstage at Lollapalooza.  The publisher of SPIN joins us - quite fun!

Next, it's Tally Hall.  I met them while in line for a porta-john.  We discovered we are both from the same home town (West Bloomfield, MI) and when I heard the name of their band it brought a smile to my face - you'll hear why in our conversation.

I also interviewed another Lollapalooza artist - Dierks Bentley - a few days prior to Lollapalooza. That interview is not part of this podcast episode but you can hear it HERE.
