Lukas Nelson is blessed with a measure of musical ability imparted by his father, musical legend, Willie Nelson. Lukas and his band (Promise of the Real) have played hundreds of shows and major festivals around the world, spending many years as the backing band for Neil Young. Young has been guiding Lukas and the band on their new album.
On August 25th Lukas and the band released their self-titled album on Fantasy Records and will be setting out on a fall tour with Nikki Lane. The album’s sensational lead track “Find Yourself” features Lady Gaga on vocals. Lucius and Willie Nelson also make appearances on the album. In his recent review of the album, Glide’s Doug Collette had this praise to offer:
“Lukas Nelson and Promise of The Real features a kinder, gentler version of the band that barnstormed concert stages and so ably accompanied Neil Young in the studio the last few years. On this, their self titled third full-length studio album, the ensemble appears in an expanded six-piece form, a reconfiguration focused on the increasingly high-profile of its leader that, at least for now, dramatically redefines the group.”
Check out this enlightening behind-the-scenes short film on the making of the album:
