There was something special going down at Nashville's 3^rd and Lindsley Sunday night. The Raelyn Nelson band opened up, warming up the crowd for Uncle Luke (as Raelyn calls him) with their unique blend of Rock N Roll (with a lil bit of country). Then the headliner, Lukas Nelson's Promise of the Real proceeded to melt down the house with one of the most powerful performances ever seen and heard at 3^rd and Lindsley.

It was musical photography feast time in Nashville last Thursday night! Three venue's, 6 bands were on the table. 12^th and Porter's “Toys for Tots” show continued to rock on.

Toys for Tots Emcee, “Papa” Raines, played Santa Claus and gave the audience a very nice gift indeed, The Raelyn Nelson Band”!!

“Papa” introduced them as a band “where Loretta Lynn meets Cheap Trick. Or perhaps as one of their original songs go...”Jack and Loretta” ,ie. Jack White meets Loretta Lynn. No matter how you try to compare them though it comes down to one inescapable fact, Raelyn Nelson and “The Raelyn Nelson” band rock hard. And were/are good enough to take the opening act slot at “Farm Aid” this year. So thank you “Papa” for that priceless gift of music you bestowed upon us, “The Raelyn Nelson Band”

The Family Nelson

By Butch Worrell in Nashville, TN

 Willie Nelson and Family, as it says on the equipment case, brought the Country Throwdown tour to Fontanel in the hills of Nashville in the summer of 2011. Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real was one of the opening acts.

Lukas was just a lil bit country but a whole lot of Rock N Roll. He later added his excellent lead guitar work to the “Willie Nelson and Family” set. During his set he brought local family members Raelyn Nelson and Amy Nelson out to lend their excellent vocal talents to the mix. Willie might be getting old but his family star should continue to shine bright!
