NASHVILLE, TN (Aug 30, 2024) - The highly anticipated project, Loving You, which the Nelons have declared as their best work yet, releases today. The release of the project was uncertain following the tragic passing of Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, their daughter Amber, son-in law Nathan Kistler, their assistant Melodi Hodges, and the pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa in Wyoming while en route to perform on the Gaither Family Cruise earlier this summer. However, after much consideration, surviving member Autumn Nelon Streetman, the youngest member of The Nelons’, felt it appropriate to honor the family’s legacy by releasing the project on its original release date. Loving You, features the award winning and Hall of Fame group’s unmatched musical talent and unbounding faith. Listen HERE. 

The project carries an added layer of significance with each song on Loving You serving as a tribute to their life mission of spreading the gospel. Tracks such as, “Hands of an Unseen God,” “We’ve Always Had A Song” and “Moses” reflect the group's unique ability to minister faith in the midst of pain while rejoicing in the power of divine intervention. Additionally songs, such as the title track, “Loving You” and “That’s What Love Is” offers a simple yet needed reminder that love never fails. The ten-track album, an unapologetic celebration of The Nelons musical integrity and unwavering commitment to their faith, brings together a collection of timeless songs that will continue to inspire for generations to come. 

“I had no idea how big an impact this album would have on my life, especially what I’m walking through,” says Autumn Nelon Streetman. “There is a song on this album called, “Hand of an Unseen God,” and the lyrics say, ‘In my weeping and rejoicing, When my world is good or when it falls apart, I’m held by the hand of an unseen God’ and I had no idea I would be walking through those lyrics right now.”

Ed Leonard, president of Daywind Records stated, “Kelly, Amber, and Jason were immensely proud of this recording produced by Jason, Gordon Mote, Wayne Haun, and Bill Gaither, and featuring their friends Joseph Habedank, N.T. Martin, and the Gaither Vocal Band. Please let it minister to you as it has to us as we face the loss of these amazingly talented people who lived what they sang about every day.”

Dusty Wells, director of artist & label relations at Daywind continued by saying, “Loving You is more than just a music project; it’s a testament to The Nelon's' enduring legacy and anointed artistry. From the moment we began working on this album at Daywind Records, I knew it was something special. Jason, Kelly, Amber, Autumn and our team looked for and listened to countless songs before narrowing it down to songs that we felt would minister in a very special way. This project captures the heart and soul of who The Nelons are, not just as artists, but as people who have spent their lives pouring love into their music and their audience. Who knew that this project would be the last recording that they would bring to us. The project is a musical tapestry of hope, strength, peace and love and I know without a shadow of a doubt, it will help countless others on their own journey. Yes, we will certainly miss Jason, Kelly, and Amber, but the music will live on...after all, they will always have a song. This is undoubtedly one of their best works yet, and its impact will resonate for generations, leaving an indelible mark on their legacy.”
