Lukas Nelson & The Promise Of The Real: “Die Alone”

By: Jack Anderson

Lukas Nelson, son of the great Willie Nelson, met fellow band mate Anthony LoGerfo at a Neil Young concert in college. Not long after, Nelson dropped out and got together with LoGerfo and a few other friends to start The Promise of the Real. Just shy of the band’s 10 year anniversary, we can all look forward to hearing their raspy-raw sound this Saturday, Feb. 9th at 8 pm at  Moody Theater. Now, let’s treat ourselves to a much-needed dose of country soul, from Lukas Nelson & The Promise of the Real. Here is the live rendition of “Die Alone.”

Scone Cash Players: “Cold 40s”

Contemporary curators for some of the best instrumental genres (namely jazz) seem to be fearless when it comes to digital hi-fi production. But thankfully, some of the finest facilitators of the funk-soul sound still prefer the “authentic” old school character of analogue techniques. Amongst them is Hammond organ extraordinaire Adam Scone. Scone and his magic […]

Rental House: “Sunday Scaries”

There are so many artists out there with names that are virtually un-Google-able. And if they’re from Austin, it’s not really helping their SEO. I mean just try searching “Hikes Austin”…you’re not gonna find music. Hell, even Spoon might’ve had some trouble in their earlier days. Which brings us to Rental House. No, it’s not […]
