Nathaniel Rateliff was born in Hermann in 1978 and has long made Denver his home, and the music he makes pulls from folk, Americana and vintage rhythm and blues. Alongside his solo albums and EPs and an album with Nathaniel Rateliff & the Wheel, he put together the Night Sweats in 2013 as an R&B side project with a loose, rowdy soul-revue swing.
And It's Still Alright, in 2020, was the other side of him: a solo album of weathered, tender songs, with his big, grainy voice pulled back to a warm murmur. The title track rolls along on strummed guitar and a slow, easy groove, the sound of a man dusting himself off, and "Time Stands" drifts in soft and hushed. Rounder and Stax have both put his music out, which tells you a lot about where it lives: somewhere between the front porch and the dance floor.
