AMG Review of Breakaway Angel

Bradley Torreano
All Music Guide

Breakaway Angel is the first Nils Lofgren studio album in six years. Although he is famous for his excellent guitar work, most of the tracks here showcase his use of the classical harp. He still continues to play the guitar, although most of his work here is acoustic. Featuring 13 self-penned originals and one more written with Lou Reed, Breakaway Angel is a return to form for the underrated songwriter.
