Singer-songwriter Lukas Nelson set out on a new endeavor, recording his first solo album, American Romance, which will be released by Sony Music Nashville on June 20. The Shooter Jennings-produced album features the lead single, “Ain’t Done.”
“This album is the first chapter in a whole new era of my life as an artist,” Nelson revealed. “It’s a love story to the country that raised me. Diners and highways that carried me through the joy and pain that led to the music you hear now.”
Last year, the band Nelson’s previous albums were recorded with, Promise Of The Real, went on an indefinite hiatus. Nelson announced a tour of solo concerts that will take place in May.
“It’s been a long and inspiring journey in the band,” Nelson said. “This is an opportunity to experiment with some new colors in the palette, but we know we are always going to be there for each other.”
The 12-track American Romance features contributions from Sierra Ferrell, Stephen Wilson Jr., Anderson East, SistaStrings, Matt Chamberlain, Corey McCormick, Russ Pahl, Chris Powell, Brian Whelan and others.
