The Truth About Willie Nelson's Talented Son, Lukas Nelson

Lukas met drummer Anthony LoGerfo at a Neil Young concert upon moving to L.A. in 2007 for college. The pair promptly formed their own band, which they named Promise of the Real after one of Young's lyrics (via Rolling Stone). He dropped out of college and once again joined his father on tour — this time as the opening act. Since then, the band has released a number of EPs and LPs, all of which exhibit a distinctive style: one Lukas describes as "cowboy hippie surf rock."

As fate would have it, Neil Young himself saw Promise of the Real perform at Farm Aid 2014. He was so impressed that he invited the band members along to record with him in the studio. It was the start of a long-lasting collaboration that has involved multiple albums and tours, including the 2015 album The Monsanto Years, which features vocals from both Lukas and his brother Micah (via All Music).
