ASIB fuels Interest in Lukas Nelson and Americana Music!

We love a queen that associates with winners!!! :vegas:

Grassroots efforts have created rising stars like Brandi Carlile, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Lukas Nelson," said Hilly, a former Sony Music executive in New York who became the Americana Music Association executive director in 2007. "I mean, did you see Lukas [Nelson] in A Star is Born?  Talk about Americana hitting the mainstream!"

Americana is having a moment: Lukas Nelson, son of country legend Willie Nelson, co-wrote the music performed by Bradley Cooper's lead character in A Star is Born, a roots rock singer from Arizona who would fit well in Austin's gritty, singer-songwriter community. The movie's musical focal point, "Shallow," peaked at No. 5 and has spent five weeks on the Hot 100 singles chart while being one of two rock songs without a drum machine (Weezer's "Africa" is the other). The 17-song soundtrack has topped the Billboard 200 album chart for two weeks. Meanwhile, Nelson, who records and performs as Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, has received widespread media attention from the likes of CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Esquire and Town & Country. At the same time, Google searches for Lukas Nelson have increased almost three-fold in the last two months.

Agreed.  Even if it was just an EP, I'd be curious as to what all her, him and Ronson could do together.

He is so good, Gaga did back up vocals for two songs in his latest album and the ASIB soundtrack was mostly written by him, excluding songs by Gaga. He deserves all the recognition he is getting! Also his dad is a like the biggest country music stoner lol I have a poster of him smoking a joint lol

His songs are great. His guitar is much better than what we heard in Perfect Illusion to be honest.

I'm happy he's getting more recognition. He's so talented, and seems like a really sweet person as well.

I think he sounded better in ASIB than the QoTSA guy too. :ph34r:

Both Willie Nelson and his son Lukas are such genuine musicians and seem like genuine people too. Legends supporting legends :applause: I love that Gaga is working with Lukas. If they worked together more I would be 100% here for it.

"Black Eyes" composed by him is so great.

Btw, Hillary Lindsey :giveup::sara:deserves some attetion and acclaim, too. "ARUTW"&"I'll never love again" are really the treasure of ASIB soundtrack. (Yeah, "MillionReasons" is also amazing.)

Yeah she does but in this case, Lukas is more of a package than just a writer, he sings, writes and produces. I know Hillary songs too but she’s more of a back up act if anything.
