Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats - Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Nathaniel Rateliff is such a unique force in music. His song SOB has been used in many commercials and for those of us who know the lyrics of this song aren't surprised that it was the musical portions of the song that are featured but that's how powerful his music is musically and lyrically.

A true folky rock soul expression. From depression to joy to chemical dependency! They have an answer to sobriety with songs like "S. O. B." Music you can groove to angry or sad and the outcome is always the same...happiness or what we substitute it with!

This album is awesome! If you like southern rock mixed with a little soul, them you need this album. To me, it sounds like a mix between Elvis, Ray Charles, and Kinds Of Leon. Every song is sung with heart and I cannot wait until they make more music.

Was hooked on the band with the single, "S.O.B."; while the music is good and seems a curious yet intelligent mix of blues and gritty rock, a lot of it ends up sounding similar...not all of it mind you, but some tracks sound repetitive. I do enjoy the album and glad I bought it, but I do wish a little more variety in the sound was done. That said, it's a pretty solid set and worth the money.

There are no fillers on this CD. The song "Look it Here" reminds me of the '68 soul era. Seems as if the some bands are going back to that sound. As for the hit S.O.B., well, it doesn't get much better than that, does it?
