Lukas Nelson at the Throwdown

It must be tough for Lukas Nelson to hear from every reporter he meets "So, what's it like working with your Dad?"  It sounds every bit like "So, little man, what's it like riding on Willie Nelson's coat tails?"

I'm not much for country music, but enjoyed Lukas' onstage energy and his sound. During interviews, he talked like a friend from the office about snowboarding and surfing . The ladies love his handsome smiling eyes; he never seems rehearsed and is perfectly comfortable during interviews.  While sitting in a Revolution locker, he flashed peace signs.

I almost expected him to say "Look folks, I like playing guitar and singing. It's really as simple as that."  Nothing deep or complicated.

Nice guy.  And for all those Willie fans out there-- sorry, but I'd rather pay to hear Lukas than his famous father.
