It’s time for another episode of our series revelations where featured artists go deep on their biggest hits.

1990 was a transitional year in music. We’ve talked about it before, the 80s had ended but even though we were in a new decade, things hadn’t really changed. It would be a good year or more before Nirvana completely chanted the landscape with Nevermind. and the charts were all over the place as New Jack Swing was in full effect, as well as Dance records, With College Rock knocking on the door and Hip Hop mixing it up. Glam Metal was still in heavy rotation while pop was going the route of Mariah Carey and Abdul, In the middle of all of this a band of brothers were readying their debut album for release.

Mathew and Gunnar Nelson, the sons of the late Rock Pioneer Ricky Nelson, or Rick and the grandsons of Ozzie and Harriet Nelson would become the first and only act in the history of rock and roll to chart a third generation #1 hit with the rock ballad Love and Affection. Not even the Jacksons have done that, although, it could still happen. as Janet and Michael have offspring but I digress. Mathew and Gunnar’s debut album had three top 15 hits

After Love and Affection hit #1 on the hot 100 and #20 on the rock charts, the songs After the Rain went to #6 and More Than Ever went to #14 They even had a fourth hit form the record, Only Time Twill Tell that went to #28. Not many albums that year had four top 30 hits outside of the Janet’s and Mariah's. What follows is a recent zoom session that I did with both Mathew and Gunnar live from their studio in Nashville where they take us through the creation of the aforementioned #1 hit Love and Affection with hands on acoustic song telling, as well as some insight about their late father Rick Nelson and you’ll find as I did that the Nelson are two of the nicest guys in the business. I remember the first time I read this song, I loved the harmony’s, Ear candy for sure, As we go into this interview I want to thank our sponsor Zennie Eyewear, who support our mission of keeping the music alive. I’m wearing a new pair today, I customized them, I chose the color shape and style, I added a pari of sunglasses and put and have blokz on them that protect me from digital blue light. I love them. Go to Zenni.com and give it a whirl. You’ll dig it and for less than the price of a vinyl record. Here’s Mathew and Gunnar with the story of Love and Affection.
