Multi-platinum classic rock duo Nelson will release their new album Amazing on March 19 via Frontiers Music Srl. The announcement comes with the premiere of the album’s opening track and lead single, “Easy Money,” accompanied by an official music video.
“Easy Money” tackles timely themes about the price of succumbing to temptation and false promises, touching on the idea of “The Deal” as famously symbolized by Robert Johnson’s legend. Gunnar Nelson emphasized the band’s integrity, noting they have never given in to such seductions.
Amazing marks Nelson’s first full album since 2014’s Peace Out and balances nostalgia with contemporary polish. It revisits the qualities that made previous albums like After The Rain and Lightning Strikes Twice enduring: memorable songwriting, soaring melodies, and rich vocal harmonies. The album was produced by Gunnar Nelson, featuring mixing by Chris Lord-Alge, Jay Ruston, Stephen DeAcutis, and Gunnar himself.
The album includes contributions from notable musicians such as Joel Hoekstra, Pat Buchanan, and Steve Brewster. Tracks like “Steamroller,” “Amazing,” and “My Life For You” showcase the band’s signature melodic rock sound. The title track and “Avalanche,” co-written with Jim Peterik, highlight the album’s songwriting caliber.
Nelson is also benefiting from renewed mainstream attention in the U.S. after appearing on HBO Max’s Peacemaker. They will continue this momentum with a performance on Nexstar Broadcasting’s New Year’s Eve special, reaching major markets nationwide.
Gunnar Nelson calls Amazing the band’s best record, reflecting a dedication to excellence throughout the process. He describes the album as an inspired classic rock record that over-delivers, combining confidence, maturity, and the signature Nelson sound.
