  • Ive seen them live 6 times now, pretty amazing.

  • sounds like Bob Dylan's Maggies Farm

  • @haydenBones I was thinkin' the same thing

  • This is awesome! Texas blues/rock. Awesome! Sounds like Stevie Vaughan or older ZZ Top. Texas style baby.

  • Great guitar play! They are coming to Fresno, Ca. on the 27th.......going to try and make it!

  • mikecyote@yahoo.com

    THIS IS SMOKIN' ROCKIN ROCKIN ROLL

  • Should definitely tour with The Sheepdogs

  • This comment is my endorsement of the performers mentioned. All Willy Nelson’s unendorsed music is some of the best there is. His movies are the best ever made. It’s hard to say any song is better than every song Willy Nelson ever did but, this song exhibits musical talent refined to its purest state. Even Hank Williams the third will have to practice to top this song.

  • Saw them this summer and they were great!

  • hes the man!!! willie must be proud

  • this is STILL hands down the best band performance EVER on david letterman.

    FUCKING AMAZING :D

  • I saw lukas at a BB king show man he rock my socks off!

  • THE SAVIORS OF MUSIC

  • Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real clash with the world's tackiest promoter. Read more at The Worst Gig (WorstGig.com).

  • Why is this album so hard to find? I can't buy it at any store.

  • He's from a good gene pool.

  • im not trying to make any crazy comparison's, but i think comparing him to Stevie Ray isn't to crazy. this kid has crazy guitar chops

  • They were amazing at farm aid 2011!!

  • saw you in corpus christi, Tx. a few months ago at brewsters street .. and you killed it!

    play on play on..

  • THAT is how a Strat is meant to be played.

  • Verse 2: We got married in a hurry, it was such a lovely day,

    I said "do you?" she said "I do" and now she's here to stay,

    my independence calls me from a payphone far away,

    he says "listen man I'm worried, you ain't never been this way", and I get antsy,

    real committment seems absurd, see out here in the country 'forever' is a four-letter word.

  • Just saw this kid play before Toots in nyc, fvcking crushed it. Unreal performance, love it.

  • "It's only been 2 years and she already hates my dog,

    she's up and down the street like she don't understand the law,

    and I'm pining for some time where I ain't looking at her face,

    and everytime she talks to me I'm staring into space,

    and I get antsy, real committment seems absurd, out here in the country forever is a four-letter word.

    I have most of the second verse but I can't figure out the third verse, somebody help me, what are the rest of the lyrics? Mark Montgomery NYC, NY

  • No shit, "By God that was good!"

  • This really kicked major ass. Had no freakin clue who this cat was. Sat up in the recliner and was like WTF??? Oh hell Yeeeah!! At the end I was seriously wishing for more. Couldn't believe it when he asked who his Dad was. If you dig Dylan or Neil you'll like this. Rocks like hell!!

  • I just saw him and his band perform as the opening band for Los Lonely Boys this past Saturday night at Stubbs in Austin, Texas. He/They were AWESOME! It was great! He knows how to put on a show!!! There were times that he sounded a lot like his dad.

  • I was in Vegas hosting a singing TV pilot, and he happened to be singing at the arena that we were filming at the night before. He's so talented, and he was the nicest guy:)

  • Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real COMPLETELY TEAR IT UP!

  • This band is HOT !!!!! firing on all 8 cylinders.....yeah, it's a hemi !!!! Too cool, great song. Best 4 minutes of David's show in quite some time

  • I saw him in Terre Haute Indiana at the Blues at the Crossroads. Real nice guy! Been watching him get more and more exposure. Yeah, he is going to be big time!!!

  • Saw him play at Antone's in Austin a few weeks back. He is the real deal. Played with his teeth for like 2 minutes and didn't miss a f'ing note!! Only like 22 yrs old.

  • Looks like Jay Leno all of a sudden had his head shrunk, started wearing glasses and moved his show to CBS?

  • Leno's looking like David Letterman these days, who'da thought?

  • why does it say Leno?

  • proof that the nelsons have something special in the music world. Love willie, love this.

  • Glad I stumbled upon this on late night. This band literally blew me the fuck away! I've never heard of em or anything but goddamn....I knew instantly these guys rocked.

  • Great job Lukas!! As usual, you guys kicked ass! See you back on Maui!

  • how the hell cool must it be to have willie nelson as your father?

  • Fucking standing ovation from the crowed!

  • REAL ROCKING MUSIC BY REAL ROCKING MUSICIANS.....WOW

  • probably one of the best performances i have ever seen on Letterman! Love it!

  • ''By God that was good".........well said Dave.

  • OMG that was FRIKN AWESOME!!! Those guys are GREAT and Willie's gotta be proud!

  • You wanna know when you're badass?

    When you get introduced to the audience and barely anyone claps for you then when ever you are done performing, you recieve a standing ovation.

    Lukas Nelson is amazing.

  • Finally a band you can get excited about. Rock n roll is back. In a lot of ways it never really left.

  • wow, I think they are the best band ive seen on letterman in ages! they had great energy! great song with great lyrics! music was upbeat and far from putting u to sleep! good rock and roll! i was really impressed! cant wait to hear more of their music!

  • Saw these guys live here in Denton Texas a few months ago. Fucking energetic performance that is non stop! Deff going to see them again when they're back in town.

  • Hate Willie Nelson... Lucas and the Promise of the Real blew me away!

  • @VanMan401 I freaking love willie nelson. I see a lot of willie in his son.

  • so awesome.

  • "It's only been 2 years and she already hates my dog" What a great opening lyric and guitar riff. I was really impressed when I saw these guys on letterman last friday.

  • Wow...GOD'S BLESSED TEXAS...again!!! Thank you WILLIE NELSON:)

  • Wow...GOD'S BLESSED TEXAS...again!!! Thank you WILLIE NELSON:)

  • Wow...GOD'S BLESSED TEXAS...again!!! Thank you WILLIE NELSON:)

  • Great video! But the description says this is from the Jay Leno show. Might want to fix that.

  • Great band! Just saw them on Letterman for the first time. Lukas is a killer guitarist. Expecting bigger and better things from them in the future.

  • i caught this on tv and was blown away,could not stop watchin it,i gotta get the cd,then dave said it was willie nelsons son i stood up and gave an ovation,,,rock on cowboy,

  • Absolutely awesome.. They played a free open air concert in both San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!! We that went to see them are so grateful for that wonderful gift... Hope they come back Soon!!

  • I grew up listening to rap, later started to love Southern Rock just as much & became a huge fan of this guys dad, Johnny Cash, Lynark Skynard, etc - hearing them I kind of feel like they revived that genre for me - it was just a badass song - great performance. I really like the album title too.

  • The offspring has it in his blood! I heard Lukas for the first time the other night on David Letterman,too,and really enjoyed his performance!

  • I saw this band on the Waco, TX city cable channel and had to find out more. I loved everything they played. It was only later I found out that Lukas was Willie's son.

  • I've remarked about Lucas a couple of months ago! No doubt talent & blues the order of the day! Really good performance on Letterman...gives me hope for our country!!!his other brother & sister are very talented! I know Willie is proud! Happy for the bunch of them & us as listeners!! God Bless Texas!!!

  • I'm about to buy my first cd of a band that didn't originate in the 70's or 80's - young guys that can play, have great lyrics and raw energy, Glory Alleluja! - the Apocalypse is upon us. LUCAS!!!

  • The first time I ever saw them play live I INSTANLY loved their music, and have been doing everything I can to help spread the word about them ever since! They're the nicest most talented guys you'll ever want to meet, and they truly love their fans!

  • I've seen them live and they are AWESOME!

  • ROCK & ROLL REBORN!!!

  • They are the deal real!!!! How do i know, I'm from Maui.... i ve been to all of there concert/ show .Lucas, makes it a up close experience always . Don't miss any performance if you can help it .Oh by the way Lucas and Togo you guys look Fab.

  • What can I say-pure talent !!

  • Yah, I was so surprised when I saw this. I was watching it and I was saying to myself...wow, someone is finally playing Letterman with some talent. Usually there is no talent these days on the late shows, as with all the music that people are making these days. I found out later it was Willie's son and thought, wow that is awesome. If you listen to his other material online he really sounds like his dad! I loved this performance...and awesome solo! Hope he can bring REAL music back.

  • When I first saw that and after Lukas finished pickin' the stings with his teeth, it looked to me like he spit out a tooth. It gave me the Willies so bad that I had to watch it a few more times to see what actually happened. GREAT SHOW !

  • Nothing short of amazing. :D

  • I was blown away by these guys when they opened for Willie last week! So amazingly passionate! Keep your eye on Lukas Nelson, he's gonna be huge!!

  • What FUN! Nice to hear! I wanted to dance. This is just absoultely great! Forward it to everyone you know!

  • AWEsome.

  • ....and the eyeglasses ALMOST made it... FLIIIINGGGGGG...(3:35) LOL... this was exactly how it always is. These guys play and sound like this whether they are on Letterman, Leno or in your hometown bar. They are gritty and they are the REAL DEAL.

  • WOW That was the bomb right there .Some serious shit.I can hear willie voice a little .The song is Bobby Dylanish , very good foot tapper knee slapping Rocking Roll .

  • Comment removed

  • Once in a great while, I see a band like this that gets to me right away. Lukas and his band are the real deal. I love the way he plays his leads on guitar without once looking down at the frets. Very organic. Claptonesque. He has charisma. This dude is cool. Willie should be proud.

  • I have been looking for this all day, I caught the last few minutes of this last night!

  • I was tweeted this video and i gotta say DANG!!!!! LOVED IT!!!! ^_^

  • I saw this on Letterman last night. Kick ass! Checked and POTR are playing KS at a saloon April 7th. How cool!

    

  • he's the some of willie nelson, he is a great guitar player, but his voice sounds too much like bob dylan for me.

  • he's the some of willie nelson, he is a great guitar player, but his voice sounds too much like bob dylan for me.

  • Letterman dug 'em too. And why wouldn't he?

  • It was great!!!

  • Wow what a talent.

  • Saw this last night too and it rocked so I looked it up today! Great Job!

  • I'm 64 and I far prefer the kid over his old man in both musical styles and guitar licks.

  • Hi, your description is incorrect. It says it was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

  • no need to find the pigeon hole, he has his own musical sense.

  • Great performance/music! Never heard of them before the show last night! Thanks for sharing!!!

  • The first time I had heard of these guys was when I saw this performance when it aired. I, personally, hate country music, but this is so badass. I love blues rock and I think they fall slightly more into that category than country. No matter how you classify them though, they put out one good sound.

  • @wafflechip This isn't country music, just because he's from Texas and has a Texas accent. I could put them in the "alternative-roots-rock" category. But, yeah, this is great. He's clearly influenced by Dylan, from his vocals to the way the melody / metre of this song bear a striking resemblance to Bob's "From a Buick Six." There are other clips on YT of them, including them doing a cover of Bob's "Meet Me in the Morning."

  • I can't get it to play. I can get youtube videos played that have been posted elsewhere, but not from the youtube site.

  • Being somewhere north of the half century mark in age, there's not a lot of new music that comes along these days that makes me take notice.

    I saw this performance by Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real last night on Letterman.

    Oh yeah. I noticed.

    INCREDIBLE performance!

    Another progeny of one of "The Highwaymen" does his old man proud...

  • I totally came across this quite by accident on TV last night and it absolutely kicked my ass...how impressive was this performance?? I would love to see these guys live if they play like this all the time. Thanks for the upload.

  • @scheu2112 I did the same thing. I watch Craig every night and turned it on a little early. WOW!

  • @scheu2112 What you said.

  • @scheu2112 me too i had just turned on tv and he was playing totally cool traces of dylan and ccr and.... hot blues!!!!

  • @scheu2112 They are like this live. I saw them at the Blues fest in Terre Haute, IN. It blew my freakin' mind. He is a sweet guy too, I interviewed him for my college newspaper. What a very kind and sweet man. Nice to look at too. ;)

  • @scheu2112 Saw him play last year with his Daddy Willie, what a great show to see!

  • @scheu2112 Dude they do play like that all the time. Every show is packed with lots of energy and really great music.

  • @scheu2112 You said it all what a hard rockin group love em!!

  • @scheu2112 I've seen them live once (as an opener for Willie Nelson), and based on that performance, I can say that they're actually more impressive live in an actual concert. They're a wonderful band.

  • @scheu2112 they are awesome in person saw them at meadowbrook at the country throw down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @scheu2112 I caught them live in Nebraska when they were touring with B.B. King and they are way better live. I would say go watch them if you have a chance.

  • @scheu2112 I've seen these guys open for Willie three times and B.B. King once. I can assure you they are even better live. Kick ass band.

  • @scheu2112 I saw them live not long ago and yes, it's this good if not better every time. At the Country Throwdown Lukas played through five different sets including his own band, Promise of the Real. This is one hard working kid.

  • His dad should be proud. Fantastic job on Letterman last night.

    You can't see me, but I am standing and ovating.

    Feel free to have a clap with me.

  • i just saw them last night on letterman and omg this guy is the real deal, man he has soul!!!! playing with his teeth man when was the last time that happen on live tv that was awesome!!!

  • This kid is the real deal. Mark Montgomery NYC, NY

  • I saw Lukas at a Willie Nelson concert at the Clark County Fairgrounds in Washington State about four years ago...left me saying "Willie Who?" Let this guy play!!!

  • Caught you guys on Letterman tonight. You just made me a life-long fan. Way to go guy's. Teriffic energy and good ol' greasy, country-fied hard driving guitar anthem rock. Awesome. I almost fell off the couch.

  • Damn, this guy is good!! He's the real deal and he'll go as far as he wants, and not because he's Willie Nelson's son, but because he has a gee-tar gift with real soul.

  • so gooot
