Legendary Country Star's Son Makes Bittersweet Comment About His Famous Father
Legendary Country Star's Son Makes Bittersweet Comment About His Famous Father originally appeared on Parade. A lot comes with being the son of greatness, whether it's the pressure to follow in their family's footsteps, create a life of their own, or even just match the legacy they are presented with. They certainly have all the tools laid out for them, so how will they use them? That's certainly a question that has been posed to Lukas Nelson, son of country icon Willie Nelson. Lukas Nelson has been performing for a long time, getting his start by writing the song "You Were It" for his father, which appeared on the album "It Always Will Be" in 2004. His band, Lukas Nelson & The Promise of the Real, have done well for themselves, touring with Neil Young and releasing a few solid albums. Most recently, Nelson has been on tour with his father as a part of the 10th Outlaw Festival tour. In a recent interview, Nelson revealed what effect that has on him, for better or for worse. "No matter how I work, how hard I work, I'll still be the son of Willie Nelson," the singer/songwriter says, though adding that it's also very inspiring. It's an incredibly difficult position to try and work from, and many commenters sympathized with Nelson's struggles. "Lukas has such a unique style, but you can definitely feel Willie's influence in his music. Great interview!" "Seen him play and he's great! His talent speaks for itself." "Fabulous musician." Lukas Nelson has made some amazing music throughout his career, and he deserves all the praise he can get. I really recommend his band's self-titled album. There's a smoky ambience that carries throughout the entire album that makes you feel like you're seeing it in a small club somewhere. I got to see "Forget About Georgia" live, and that was certainly a treat. Check his stuff out!
