Nils Lofgren "You In My Arms"
Here's a homegrown vid made by my friends Nick Mead and James Roddy.
They were at our home working on another project and offered to shoot this.
"You In My Arms", a favorite bonus track of mine from the "Face the Music" box set, I wrote early on, while dating Amy. Kind of a hoot, we hope you'll enjoy it!
Peace and Believe, Nils



The Grammy Museum Presents: An Evening with Nils Lofgren
Los Angeles, CA | August 5, 2014
Hosted by Vice President of the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares, Scott Goldman.

Hello everyone, recently I played in a fabulous house band at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute concert to the Rolling Stones, on October 26th. I did my own version of a favorite, "Play With Fire" and here is my original demo I sent out to the band.
    It's primitive but has a good feel and I wanted to share it with you all.

LISTEN TO "PLAY WITH FIRE"

Nils and Clarence
"MISS YOU C" SONG DOWNLOAD
I've been singing Miss You "C", a different, acoustic version of Miss You Ray, ever since we lost my dear friend and bandmate, Clarence Clemons. Recently I redid the album version with these new lyrics to honor Clarence. Jamison Weddle at Studiocat Productions (Old School engineer) recorded and remixed it with me. My dear friend Dave Marsh just premiered it on his Sirius/XM Radio show, and I'm making it available to all of you as a free download here. I hope you listen to it. it's intended to reflect our deep love and appreciation for Clarence's music, life and friendship.

A number of years ago here in Arizona, my good friend Otto D'Agnolo (great engineer and producer, etc.) helped create these Christmas song versions (one per year, over 3 years) for our local  UCP Foundation. (United Cerebal Palsy)  The Cd's were called  Merry Arizona and featured Christmas song versions by local artists.  We hope you enjoy them!  The duet on Silent Night is with Margo Reed.    We hope in these crazy times you can all find some peace and comfort with your families.   God bless.   Peace and Believe -  Nils and Amy

"IF I SHOULD FALL BEHIND"
(8 MB, mp3)

Hello everyone. A while back I recorded this home version of Bruce's great ballad, "If I Should Fall Behind" for my friends; Mark And Mia Rothbaum's wedding day. It is a favorite of theirs and they wanted to play it at their ceremony. The guitar and vocal is a live performance and I added the rest. Hope you enjoy it! Peace and Believe - Nils


"HEAVEN'S RAIN"
(8 MB, mp3)

Recently, my dear friend Clive Cussler's fiance' Janet asked me to write a song for their Wedding. Clive and Janet Cussler are now happily married and "Heaven's Rain" is the song. Having been a huge fan for decades of Clive's genius as a writer, which he continues to share in his magnificent books and a friend for 20 years, I felt I had a special insight and I am proud of the song. Amy and I are grateful for Clive and Janet's friendship and proximity. (we all live here in Scottsdale, AZ.) We hope you enjoy the song.     Peace and Believe  -  Nils      (song mixed by Jamison Weddle and mastered by Billy Wolf)

"LIKE A HURRICANE " (22 MB, mp3)

This is an alternate version of Neil Young's classic song that I recorded on my recent CD;  "The Loner - Nils Sings Neil".  It's one live take on my Takamine run through a loop station, which allowed me to loop a rhythm progression and do an extensive jam in the solo section. Billy Wolf (who mixed and mastered the CD and this track) and I decided as a genre, to label it "jam folk".  Hope you enjoy it.     Peace and Believe  - Nils

"DALAMATION"
 (mp3)

Hello everyone. A few years ago I did a live "country" style studio session  for fun and exploration with some good friends in AZ. In his Chaton Studio, Otto D'Agnolo with Jamison Weddle as assistant set us up, engineered and mixed  the sessions. Mike Smith played pedal steel, Mike King played upright bass and Gary Bruzzese played drums. All friends and great players, it was a wonderful adventure for us. I think we did 8 songs in two days and we kept it fun and live. It was pretty much a group production because I wanted everyone to add their own ideas and play parts they created and felt connected to. I've picked two songs to share in this free download for you.  "Dalmation" is an old song about a fireman and his love for his lifesaving dog that I've been wanting to share for 40 years! This song may seem corny to some, but for animal lovers like myself, it rings true. "Day By Day" is another old tune I've sang occasionally in acoustic shows but had never recorded. I hope you enjoy the music.   
Peace and Believe  -  Nils
