On a recent roll through Ohio last week (August 30), the bus of Willie Nelson's 22-year-old son, Lukas Nelson, was pulled over by local police after being tipped of that there could be possible marijuana on board.
To some music lovers, Lukas Nelson is known simply as the son of Willie Nelson, but if that hasn't changed already, it's about to. The 22-year-old Nelson is following in his legendary father's footsteps, but carving his own path in the music industry with his band. Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real have just released their debut self-titled album, loaded with original tunes that set them apart from just about every other artist or band in any musical genre.
When your dad is one of the biggest and most respected legends in country music, it's hard to not want to follow closely in his footsteps. For Lukas Nelson and his famous pops, Willie Nelson, it is no exception. Young Nelson picked up his first guitar early in life after his father said that would be the best birthday present he could get from his son.
