Music is in the bloodline of the Nelson family. Country giant Willie Nelson passed his songwriting prowess on to his sons Lukas and Micah Nelson, both of whom are musicians. Today I’ll be focusing on Lukas, the frontman of Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real. The band appears as the backing band for Bradley Cooper’s character in the 2018 edition of A Star Is Born, with Lukas also co-writing and co-producing songs for the film. From 2015 to 2019, they toured as the backing band for Neil Young. With Young, the band recorded two studio albums (The Monsanto Years and The Visitor), a soundtrack album (Paradox) and two live albums (Earth and Noise & Flowers). For his work on A Star Is Born, Lukas won the BAFTA Film Award For Original Music in 2019 and a Grammy Award in 2020 for Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media, sharing both awards with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga assists Nelson on “Find Yourself.” Her powerful vocals can be heard in the background of the chorus. Nelson and Gaga’s voices perfectly complement one another and, though this is just one of several collaborations between the pair, it’s undoubtedly the best.
This is “Find Yourself” by Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real.
Thanks for stopping by and spinning some tunes with me.
See you on the flip side. 😎

It’s a cool song with a great sound; their voices blend together nicely.
I saw A Star Is Born when it first came out and I didn’t know who Bradley Cooper’s back up band was; I just knew I liked what I was hearing. Now I’m a fan of Lukas Nelson.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the tunes, Dale! 🎶 😎
