![]() ![]() In Memory of Loss, recorded with producer Brian Deck (Iron Wine). Nathaniel Rateliff then released In Memory of Loss in the USA on Rounder Records in May 2010, and then in the UK on Decca in March 2011. Nathaniel Rateliff and the Wheel released Desire and Dissolving Men on Public Service Records in 2007. At eighteen, Rateliff moved to Denver for missionary work. In Rateliffs Memory of Loss, fans will discover a mellow, sit back with a glass of your favorite spirits kind of record. As a young teenager, he taught himself guitar and began writing his own songs. He grew up in rural Missouri, learning to play the drums at age seven. He has also released two solo albums and one album under the name Nathaniel Rateliff and the Wheel. Rateliff has garnered attention with Nathaniel Rateliff The Night Sweats, the soulful RB combo he formed in 2013. Nathaniel David Rateliff is an American singer and songwriter based in Denver, whose influences are described as folk, Americana and vintage rhythm blues. Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing of this 2010 album. All of his folk albums are masterfully written and while I am glad he’s getting more attention with the Night Sweats, I wish more people paid attention to that early stuff.New Vinyl Record - Nathaniel Rateliff, In Memory Of Loss One of the lines has him yelling with a desperation that gives me chills: “I could go backwards forever/ I could be boxed inside and living without/ well don’t blow my cover/ It’s taken years to make a beautiful shroud”. It was well received by critics and fans alike. That’s not to say there aren’t songs on his early records in which he uses his powerful howl: one of the best songs on the record, Shroud, has him practically screaming the whole time. In 2010, he released his first solo album, In Memory of Loss. It’s quieter and more vulnerable, which partners quite well with his simple, yet beautiful instrumentation. Again, his voice shines through, but in a different way than it does with the Night Sweats. Turning to older material, Nathaniel’s second album, In Memory of Loss, is one of my favourite albums of all time. His howling combined with the musical prowess of the Night Sweats makes this an album you simply cannot ignore. He is able to bellow with such power, yet still manage to keep a kind of sweet gruffness in his voice. This man has a god-given talent, that much is clear. ![]() Probably the most obvious strength of the album is Nathaniel Rateliff’s absolutely killer vocals. The band formed in 2013, and released their self titled album earlier this year, which I have the pleasure of writing about today. Thankfully for all of us, he decided to try one more thing and switch from folk to an Otis Redding, Sam Cooke style doo-wop. Despite being one of the best singer-songwriters of his generation, Nathaniel was struggling to stay afloat. The thirty-six year old singer has been a musician for all of his adult life, and was until now performing primarily as a solo singer-songwriter. The success of the Night Sweats is great for the world in general, but it’s especially welcome for Nathaniel Rateliff himself. Just try and blast it without feeling those foot-tapping urges. The song is pure, emotional and overall electrifying. Their song S.O.B has over four million plays on spotify, and it absolutely deserves them. The group, fronted by the larger than life voice of Nathaniel Rateliff, has been reaching the top of the charts, performing on Jimmy Fallon and even receiving high praise from music legend Questlove.
