Album Review - Nils Lofgren - Sacred Weapon

Best known as a sideman for Neil Young and, more recently, Bruce
Springsteen, guitarist Nils Lofgren has managed, over the course of the
past 31 years, to amass a rather sizeable body of his own work.
Unfortunately, his output, much like that of other guns for hire, has
been, at best, spotty and inconsistent. In recent years, Lofgren has
distanced himself from any sort of label affiliation, and although he
now has the freedom to pursue a more eclectic agenda, the paths he
traverses still don't always bear fruit. His latest effort Sacred Weapon
-- which features guest appearances by Willie Nelson, Martin Sexton,
Mary Ann Redmond, David Crosby, and Graham Nash -- is the 17th solo
album of his career, and while it undeniably is flawed, it does fare
better than many of his endeavors.

As a diehard nils fan, i have to make a statement.
He has created plenty of awesome albums, but this is the very worst!
