I've always liked Nils, this album was OK but probably the beginning of the end of his solo stardom.
I saw him live back around 1976? where Van Halen was his OPENING act...
 
I saw this album but didn't buy it & then wished I had...! So I "special ordered" a copy & got one much like the one I saw in the bin... I thought this was a pretty neat effort & the first Lofgren album I'd ever bought...!

Seems as though whatever failures Nils had on previous releases were finally perfected & this album was one he'd made that finally clicked! The "boxing match metaphor" of "No Mercy" never fails to excite me, as does the thrilling "A Fool Like Me"...
