  • Lukas Nelson shares his perspective on the art of telling stories through songwriting.
    Lukas Nelson has no more footsteps to follow other than his own. As with all creative artists, Nelson’s course has been somewhat unpredictable. Though born to country music royalty, he has followed a different muse. Or, more accurately, he has introduced a bunch of muses to each other and locked them into an imaginary room to spend some wild time together.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    50 years ago my wife and I packed up a 1966 Mustang with all of our worldly possessions and traveled to Ft. Benning then to Ft. Polk where I was serving in the Army. On my you tube page you'll find the song I wrote about it. I started listening to Willie way back then . Love the way Lukas honors his Dad and yet has his own style. He mixes respect with self pride!

    First time I heard him, didn't know he existed, was on a farm aid concert on tv. Just happen to come across it. He started singing and I'm like dude quit trying to sound like Willie lol. Then he sang the sound of your memory. It grabbed my heart instantly. I've never forgotten it !! Some time soon I figured out he had to be Willie's son lol. I love him. His song writing is amazing!!!

      @joniselbe7072 Рік тому

      Cause he would have to sell his soul and he knows that. Willie being his dad the satanic music industry would take him in a min but he won't sell his soul. That's why music isn't worth a damn anymore you must sell your soul then they can tell you, demand what you play. That's not Lucas. How refreshing.
