[@andrewb2111]

I don't think it's fair to compare him to Willie. If Willie sounded this good, I'd have been a way bigger Willie fan. I am however a huge fan of Lukas. He's got the Nelson twang in his voice, but he adds a silky smoothness and buttery soft touch that Willie could only hope to sound like. Keep up the good work. I look forward to many years of greatness from Lukas.

[@livelylady49]

Closed my eyes...tears escaped them....I could feel Willie through his sons voice. How proud he must be. You've done your Daddy proud. Stand tall. Thank you.

[@terrylee-rosing1550]

Watched him last night at the Houston Rodeo “assist” his dad in a very discreet manner to fill in for Willie’s failing voice. Was so dang moving...

[@avalondreaming1433]

Means we will have Willie with us while longer. You have know idea how happy this makes me!

He has his dad's voice, but he has his own unique style. He genuine & that's what truly matters.

thebentley71 that is exactly right. He is quite as beautiful as his dad.

[@finmoc6545]

thebentley71 you are right about that.

[@geekalasky3799]

Gee ain't it funny how much Lukas sounds like his dad. He has also mastered the guitar, much like Willie. Such enjoyable music to live on and on.

[@brianchaplin9085BEC.]

This was my mother's favorite song. I sang it at her funeral. Lukas does such a beautiful rendition.

[@cousinadam5157]

Lucas and Micah have not only inherited their dad’s songs and chops, but they have earned the right to ownership. We’re all proud but can you imagine what papa (and Mom!) feel? Boggles my mind!!🤪

[@brandilynne99]

Willie is truly a musical genius- there are not many, and he is one. He created so many good works, for himself and others, but Lukas...Lukas might just be his best musical creation!!

[@melindanicholls7911]

[@tmccallco]

I recently got into Lukas Nelson's music. His singing is hypnotic, and it carries you away to another dimension. Just like his Dads.

[@quinnhen2325]

My dad passed away in’99, and he would have loved this. We listened to your dad so much back when I was a kid. Love your voice. So smooth.

I used to get so sad thinking that one day we would be "Willieless".... ill still be broken, but Lukas has stolen my heart

[@kltannk]

When Lukas was 10 or 11 ,on Willie's B-day he asked his dad what he would like for his birthday Willie replied, 'Well I think it would be nice if you could play a song on the guitar" Lukas never played before Willie sat and taught him one of his songs He learned it in a few short hours and the rest is history! He really loves and adores his Dad It's Beautiful 💖💕💞

[@tonyvogler7778]

I'm so glad he is not bothered by playing a Guitar worthy of his Talent, sweet j-200

[@ramonawilliams6783]

That is not just any Sj-200. That is Bob Dylan's custom Gibson. Lukas got it during his time in Humboldt. Dylan gave to a friend who gave to his son Stacey. Stacey had the van he was sleeping in shot up and left the guitar and Humbolt behind. Gibson thought so much of this guitar made a 175 replicas of this guitar. At some point Lukas had Bob sign the guitar for him

Lukas does some experimenting too it seems. But he is just pure awesome I love that his voice sometimes channels his dads!!

Just like I have my dad's voice and accent and genetic traits, and yet I am a completely different person with my own personality and everything. You are definitely your Dads boy, but, you have your own thing, and I love it. I can help but love it. I hear your Daddy in you, but I also hear you, me your own unique personality. People say you are just trying to sound like your Dad, which still isnt a bad thing, if you're trying to sing like someone that a good one to choose, but I dont hear anything but Lukas... Who inherited, Dads voice, just like I inherited my Dads voice.
