Gary Davies sits in
Gary's got another round of PopMaster and country singer songwriter Lukas Nelson picks the Tracks of My Years with music from Aretha Franklin and Willie Nelson.
Lukas Nelson, American singer songwriter and guitarist, chooses the Tracks of My Years with music from Aretha Franklin and Willie Nelson. Lukas began his career in the early noughties playing shows with his father, country music legend Willie Nelson. Born in Austin, Texas and raised in Maui, Hawaii, Lukas began playing guitar at a young age in an attempt to better connect with his hard touring father. By the age of 13, he had joined his father's band, touring as his rhythm guitarist and learning the stagecraft that would eventually carry him into his own career. After moving to Los Angeles to attend Loyola Marymount University in 2007, he met drummer Anthony LoGerfo, with whom he formed the band Promise of the Real in 2008. Once again joining his father on tour, this time as the opening act, Lukas & Promise Of The Real self released their Brando's Paradise Session EP, which featured artwork by Lukas' brother Micah Nelson, in 2009. While continuing to pursue his own career, Lukas remained closely intertwined with his father's music, often opening for him, then playing the next set in Willie's band. The two worked together on Willie's 2012 album, "Heroes", which featured a number of father and son vocal and guitar duets. The Promise Of The Real's profile continued to rise in 2018 through their roles in feature films. They played themselves in "Paradox" - a Neil Young vehicle directed by Daryl Hannah - and appeared on the soundtrack as well. Bigger still was Bradley Cooper's remake of "A Star Is Born", which contained songs Nelson co-wrote with the film's star Lady Gaga and featured TPOTR as Cooper's supporting band. All this set up the June 2019 release of the band's second album "Turn Off The News, Build A Garden." which went to number one in the US Country chart.
Gary also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus another round of PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Gary.Davies@bbc.co.uk
