With the release of his first solo album apart from Promise of the Real, Lukas Nelson isn’t so much starting over as he is narrowing his focus. For an artist who’s spent most of his career on the road, he sounds less interested these days in covering ground than in figuring out what actually sticks.
Ahead of his upcoming St. Petersburg stop, Nelson spoke about his refinement of process, of perspective, and of what he actually wants his music to do.
“I write based on my experience,” he told Cigar City Sounds. “And I’ve definitely driven a lot of highways, in America and elsewhere.”
