My Take
Nathaniel Rateliff sits right in my wheelhouse. A Missouri native now based in Denver, he draws on folk, Americana and vintage rhythm and blues, and that combination is exactly the dusty, soulful sound I gravitate toward. The Night Sweats project he formed in 2013 has a sweat-soaked, full-throated energy that feels like a man pouring his whole self into a song, yet his solo records reveal a quieter, more intimate songwriter underneath. That range, from a roar to a whisper, is what earns my trust. To me he embodies music that smells of American soil, and I find him genuinely hard to resist.
