Flip (album)

Flip is a 1985 solo album from Nils Lofgren, longtime guitarist for Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.[2] The sound is typical of the style of the mid-80's, with a heavy emphasis on the snare drum sound, Lofgren's guitar,[3] and plenty of synthesizer. The name of the album reflects his signature trampoline 'flips' performed on stage whilst playing guitar solos.[4]
