Lukas Nelson came of age in the dives and diners of this country and his itinerant life showed him America as few others get to see it. Nelson ponders his relationship with the country with all it's joy and heartbreak on American Romance, his first solo album and first under Sony Music Nashville. - Recorded by Grammy Award-winning producer Shooter Jennings, it shows the singer-songwriter expanding his sound while doubling down on the fundamentals of his artistry. "It's been a long and inspiring journey in the band," he says. "This is an opportunity to experiment with some new colors in the palette." - American Romance brings out those new colors in dazzling fashion, demonstrating Nelson to be a singer-songwriter of uncommon dexterity. He's just as likely to wrestle with heady existential matters as he is to lament his losses, and he's steeped in tradition without being strictly bound to it. Much like the land that provided it's name, American Romance is a novelistic album teeming with great complexity and beauty that plays out like a series of chapters from his life.
