​Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real  (from the album Naked Garden available on Fantasy Records)  (by Bryant Liggett)
The latest from Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real celebrates imperfection. Naked Garden is about as organically grown as a record should be. No time spent doing dozens of takes on one song, no studio trickery. Naked Garden is honest and real, a solid reflection of the humans that made it. Scars and all, you can hear the casual vibe of the studio in the songs, and just as a live performance, if a musician blows is as the tape rolls, Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real just pick up and move forward. The result is Naked Garden. a rollicking dose of humanity over a bed of bouncy Rock and a solid groove. 
The album opens with a song of escape, with Lukas Nelson speak-sings “Entirely Different”, stating ‘gonna take a ride, the good kind of ride, the wanna get lost in space kind of ride’ as the tune gradually builds until its Rock’n’Roll riffs careen off into five minutes of wonderfully psychedelic meandering. 
 
Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real offer some slower cuts with “Focus on the Music”, “Fade to Black”, and “The Way You Say Goodbye,” the latter with a lounge vibe focusing on a center-stage groove. “Back When I Cared” is a good time, what-the-hell cut with Bourbon Street attitude while “My Own Wave” and “Stars Made of You” have a driving bass, heavy R&B groove. Naked Garden pulls you into the studio with Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real. The opening count, a shouted-out ‘1-2-3-4’ and post-fadeout player to player accolades are part of the package, giving a studio album a live show feel, and personality to the whole recorded package.
