About Nathaniel Rateliff
Nathaniel Rateliff grew up in rural Missouri and moved to Denver as a young man, working day jobs while playing in local bands. His early solo albums, In Memory of Loss and Falling Faster Than You Can Run, were sparse, folk-leaning records built on his voice and acoustic guitar.
He formed Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats to chase the Stax and R&B records he loved, and the band's 2015 self-titled album came out on Stax itself. Its single "S.O.B.", a stomping, hand-clapped song about the shakes of drying out, became the group's calling card. Further Night Sweats albums followed, alongside solo work such as And It's Still Alright, a quieter record written after a period of personal loss.
