Nelson

NELSON is a American hard rock band founded by singer/songwriters Matthew and Gunnar Nelson (the twin sons of Ricky Nelson and Kristin Nelson). NELSON featuring the twin lead front men had a No. 1 hit in the United States with "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection" during the week of September 29, 1990. They are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family to reach number one record status in three successive generations (beginning with grandparents Ozzie and Harriet Nelson). They are sometimes mistaken as a glam metal band, however they are more hard rock.

The band split with Geffen Records record label after 1995, but they have continued to produce and release albums independently under their label, Stone Canyon Records. In 2010, they released three new NELSON albums in Europe through Frontiers Records Italy, including the new original CD album, Lightning Strikes Twice, a sequel to their multi-platinum debut album After the Rain. To complement the new original CD album release, NELSON also released twin catalogue albums Before the Rain and Perfect Storm - After the Rain World Tour 1991. Before the Rain features the collection of songs that secured Nelson their recording deal with Geffen Records, the original demonstration recordings that caught the attention of A&R; legend John Kalodner in late 1989. The album documents the story of the Nelson twins and their five-year musical journey leading up to their multi-platinum debut. Perfect Storm - After the Rain World Tour 1991 is a live concert album; these audio recordings are all that remain to document the height of Nelsonmania for posterity.
