Straddling rock and roll, country, soul, folk and R&B, Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real reach a new high-water mark on Turn Off The News (Build A Garden). This is Lukas Nelson at his best: as a songwriter, a singer, a guitarist and band leader – an artist at the peak of his powers, backed by Promise Of The Real, his nimble and dexterous brothers-in-arms, one of the most talented, in-demand rock and roll ensembles working today. Vocal and instrumental contributions on the album include Margo Price, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Micah Nelson, Kesha, Shooter Jennings, Randy Houser, Lucius, Madison Ryann Ward, Hunter Elizabeth, and Neil Young.

Whether it’s the sweeping, Roy Orbison-influenced production of “Where Does Love Go”, nodding to the Traveling Wilburys on the irresistible “Bad Case”, the cosmic country vibes of “Stars Made Of You”, the ‘60s infused sweet R&B of “Save A Little Heartache”, or the unmistakable Willie Nelson guitar licks that grace the poignant “Mystery”, it all comes together in the most mature and absorbing work of the band’s burgeoning career.

Lukas Nelson Turn Off The News album

Lukas Nelson and his band Promise Of The Real have unveiled the video for ‘Bad Case,’ the first of two upfront tracks to be released from their upcoming album Turn Off the News (Build a Garden), out on 14th June.

As Willie Nelson’s son, Lukas is not the only famous offspring on the project: the clip is co-directed by Adria Petty, daughter of Tom, whose resumé also includes videos for the likes of Beyoncé and Regina Spektor. The co-director on ‘Bad Case’ is Alan Bibby, with whom she oversaw Coldplay and Rihanna’s ‘Princess of China’ promo; Bibby’s other credits include the Ariana Grande/Stevie Wonder collaboration ‘Faith.’

“Lukas and Promise of the Real are amazing musicians and human beings,” Petty said. “So it was a huge honour to work on this collaboration shoulder to shoulder.”

In the lead-up to the release of Turn Off the News (Build a Garden), Nelson and his compadres have been typically hard at work on the road. They opened for The Who last month, played with longtime mentor Neil Young at several West Coast shows and performed their own sold out show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.

The album, the band’s second for Fantasy Records, is another fascinating blend of rock ‘n’ roll, country, soul, folk and R&B. “We wanted these songs to be fun and upbeat,” says Nelson, “but we also wanted to have something to say. Rock ‘n’ roll began as a countercultural movement, so in the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, we’re trying to encourage a lifestyle where people can be active in their local communities, rather than glued to a device.

“We listen to so many artists — the Byrds, Tom Petty, Al Green, Neil Young, Little Feat, J.J. Cale — and this album carries forth something they all represented, the idea of turning off the news and doing something constructive. It’s a statement about how you can live your life with your heart leading the way.”

“Bad Case” is off the new album from Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real, “Turn Off The News (Build A Garden) available everywhere June 14th.
