NEW ALBUM: Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real - Turn Off the News (Build a Garden)

Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real are releasing a new album, Turn Off the News (Build a Garden), with Neil Young and others. Release date: June 14.

From interview in "Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real Detail New LP Featuring Neil Young, Sheryl Crow" | Rolling Stone By Patrick Doyle:

“We wanted these songs to be fun and upbeat,” Nelson said. “But we also wanted to have something to say. Rock & roll began as a countercultural movement, so in the true spirit of rock & roll, we’re trying to encourage a lifestyle where people can be active in their local communities, rather than glued to a device. We listen to so many artists — the Byrds, Tom Petty, Al Green, Neil Young, Little Feat, J.J. Cale — and this album carries forth something they all represented, the idea of turning off the news and doing something constructive. It’s a statement about how you can live your life with your heart leading the way.”

The album's title track includes both a full-band version and an acoustic version that features Neil Young on pump organ.
