About Nathaniel Rateliff
Artist Biography
While Nathaniel Rateliff is best-known as the frenetic frontman for R&B rockers Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, the singer-songwriter has also released mellower, folk-inspired solo LPs.
∙ Before fully pursuing a solo career under his own name, Rateliff released two indie albums with the bands Born in the Flood and The Wheel.
∙ He signed with Rounder Records as a solo artist and worked with producer Brian Deck (Iron and Wine, Modest Mouse) to record his introspective debut album, 2010’s In Memory of Loss.
∙ Most of the songs on his 2014 sophomore LP, Falling Faster Than You Can Run, were inspired by the isolation he felt while touring troubadour-style through the UK and Europe.
∙ Riding the success of his Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats side-project, his debut solo album was reissued in 2017, featuring the new tracks “You Make All the Noise” and “Pounds for Pounds.”
∙ In 2019, he released a vinyl single with two acoustic John Prine covers: “Sam Stone” (a duet with Prine himself) and “Summer’s End” (a duet with indie-folk singer Courtney Marie Andrews).
∙ With songwriting heavily informed by his divorce and the death of his friend Richard Swift, Rateliff returned to his folk-based roots with his third solo album, 2020’s And It’s Still Alright.
