nathaniel rateliff and the night sweats have been touring so incessantly promoting their breakthrough debut album from 2015 that they haven’t had proper time to write and record new material, so in the meantime they released some outtakes and live tracks from the original release. both are worth having. mix a little sam cooke with the asbury jukes and you get a modern version of a good old fashioned r&b party band. they just announced last week they will be the opening band for the kings of leon summer tour. i would rather see them in a smaller club, but hopefully this will help them get some traction for a larger audience.
