About The Record:

Nils Lofgren, by Nils Lofgren, is also known as the Fat Man Album. It was his first solo album, following the breakup of his group, Grin. The album was critically praised at the time of its release, most notably in a 1975 Rolling Stone review by Jon Landau. The 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide said it was a "tour de force of unquenchable vitality and disarming subtlety." In 2007, nearly 32 years after the release of Nils Lofgren, the album was again praised by Rolling Stone in the "Fricke's Picks" column, where David Fricke said it was one of 1975's best albums. The album was on the Billboard 200 chart for nine weeks and peaked at No. 141 on May 10, 1975. In 2007 the album was finally re-mastered and re-released by Hip-O Select after being out of print for nearly a decade on compact disc. The circus billboard that appears on the cover of this album also appears in an episode of The Monkees television series, The Monkees at the Circus, season 1, episode 22
