“Sticks and Stones”, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real

Fifteen years of music, already, for the group of the sixth of the eight children of the patriarch Willie Nelson. If Amy and Micah also have the musical fiber, Lukas is the most rock of the family, and his group accompanied Neil Young for five years. Sticks and Stones is the album of post-pandemic release, the result of a raid on the supplier of recreational substances, a trip to Texas of all the excesses. But without having the finger on the trigger: we are talking here about a party pacifist. Yes, the gospel is soaked (in Alcohallelujah, we toast to God as to the Devil). In the backfire Wrong House, the hallucinated son with mushrooms ends up in the wrong cottage. In short, between outlaw western swing and supersonic rigodon, we have a lot of fun. And if we are in a funny state the next day (we sleep and we digest in All Four Winds), we play it acoustically in The View, then we start again. Necessary outlet in these incendiary times.
