Nelson to return with long-awaited album in the spring

Nelson will release their new album Amazing on March 19 via Frontiers Music Srl. The classic rock sibling duo's first single is "Easy Money." 

Gunnar Nelson says the song "was a joy to create. The subject matter couldn’t be more timely. Just take a look around in the world’s news cycle: all of those ‘weird’ Hollywood parties… elites doing and getting away with horrors in exchange for fame, fortune, and privilege. 'The Deal' hasn’t changed much since Robert Johnson walked the crossroads in the Mississippi Delta all those years ago. Matt and I are proud of the fact that we’ve never given in to such temptations or false promises. And we never will. We just wanted to shed light on the fact that people who have given in to the seduction of ‘easy money’ in exchange for their souls wind up paying an enormous price in the end."

Arriving more than a decade after the release of last album 'Peace Out,' the new studio effort was produced by Gunnar. The title track and “Avalanche" were co-written by Gunnar and brother Matthew with Jim Peterik (ex-Survivor). Other musicians contributing including Joel Hoekstra, Pat Buchanan, Steve Brewster, Michael Lord, Scotty Bratcher, James Farris and Michael Wagner.

The album follows Nelson music appearing in HBO Max’s Peacemaker, starring John Cena, introducing their music to a new audience. That renewed visibility will continue with an appearance on Nexstar Broadcasting’s annual New Year’s Eve television special, where Nelson will perform and introduce one of the singles from 'Amazing.' 

Speaking on the upcoming album, Gunnar adds, “In my opinion, this is the best Nelson record ever made. In an era of most artists riding on their laurels and doing their bare minimum, we’ve pulled out all the stops. We set out from the outset to do our very best throughout every step of the process, from the songwriting through the vinyl mastering process. We couldn’t be more proud of the album. It’s an inspired classic rock record that makes you feel 10 feet tall and bulletproof. Even with all that said, it still under-promises and over-delivers.”
