Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real – A Few Stars Apart (Ink & Paint Vinyl)
Pressed on limited edition Ink Paint swirl vinyl, A Few Stars Apart finds Lukas Nelson stripped down to his essence—just voice, guitar, and the cosmic country soul that runs through his bloodline. Released in 2021, this Grammy-nominated album was written during pandemic isolation on the family ranch, channeling Willie Nelson's outlaw spirit through a contemporary lens. The Ink Paint vinyl variant adds visual distinction to what American Songwriter called Nelson's most introspective and emotionally resonant work to date.
Lukas Nelson has spent his career proving he's more than Willie's son—touring as Neil Young's backing band, composing the A Star Is Born soundtrack with Bradley Cooper, and earning Austin City Limits' praise as "cosmic country soul." A Few Stars Apart showcases the lilting, Glen Campbell-inspired melodies and Exile on Main St. harmonies that distinguish his songwriting. Lady Gaga guests on two tracks, while the band Promise of the Real—Anthony LoGerfo, Corey McCormick, Tato Melgar, and Logan Metz—provides the warm, organic foundation that makes this album feel like a late-night confession among friends.
