Though he is undoubtedly better known for his work backing other, more famous musicians-most notably Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young-guitarist Nils Lofgren has had a reasonably impressive solo career in rock as well, having recorded more than a dozen solo albums since 1975. He has also enlivened his concerts with daring jumps and flips while playing guitar.
For a performer who has made his mark as player, it is perhaps fitting that Lofgren's late 1990s efforts included two live records: 1997's Code of the Road: Greatest Hits Live! and 1998's Acoustic Live. While he never became the type of rock superstar he played backup for, by the 1990s Lofgren said he had learned to take comfort in playing live, which he likened to "therapy at this point" in a 1996 interview with Gregory Isola in Guitar Player. "I've had a real up-and-down career-that hit record has been elusive-but the audience has kept me going," he told Isola. "They don't care what chart position you're in or how many units you didn't sell or what some executive thinks of you. They let you know instantly if you've knocked 'em out-that's liberating."
