Nathaniel Ratecliff and the Night Sweats Appear Good As New On Current Project.

You'll be highly pleased with the results of Nathaniel Ratecliff and the Night Sweats new single "I Need Never Grow Old". It's sound is as vital as one could ever hope to achieve. Mixed bag of goodies any discerning music lover would be honored to plunk down time and money on. Mr. Ratecliff's hefty voice has likely seen and won more that its fair share of battles, much to the delight of audiences everywhere. If you're a sax man you'll get a real bang out of the horn section driving this train. So committed to getting amiable with the crowd and maximizing the moments they're allowed. The drummer, as does any good bartender worth his salt, knows when to pile on the charm and, conversely, when to let the customer be right and fully in love with his drink order. Nathaniel and bunch incorporate rough and ready crowd pleasing vibes and why wouldn't the crowd join in. The guitarist on display knows what a good time is in store for his band's disciples. You couldn't ask for tighter harmonies as the collective voice rises up to speak. The guys get the wine flowing with a smoothness only a baby's butt could emulate. The C chord dominates but D's presence is just as equally felt. The drumming goes up more than just a notch, it takes revellers, crowd, and the newly uninitiated alone for big time revelling. What I find most enthralling about the horns is how they totally embrace you, the family you've never met before but would love to become acquainted with. The paternal camaraderie shines through. There is no room for doubters on this grog laden voyage. Step on board and prepare to be electrified. The pacing between drum and horns is nothing short of impeccable. Both ends of the musical coin are off to the races, protective mask in place, going on the long, steady, musical run up to glory. That bass, as we clesr the two minute mark, has some pronounced thump to it. You can see the individual involved tapping his foot on the floor, certain that this is some party he's agreed to contribute to. Bass is one of those instruments that doesn't occupy quite the same national attention as lead guitar what with your Eddie Van Halens and Jimi Hendrix claiming the lion's share of the spotlight. Nathan and friends are surely worthy of at least a fraction of that love. They're earnest, they play every note with a not to missed, not to be disregarded passion. Rod Stewart knew enough to declare that even the president needs passion. The story of the lyrics peeks into this band's generous soul. The universal need to try and fail brings its head to the forefront. He proves there is something to said for just taking time, standing in the rain. What a beautiful natural vista that creates. However brawn trumps beauty this go round and it makes for a better project. The track's cadences and textures could easily have been brought to uber enchanting life in a train station. Lucky for us such metrosexual means weren't required. "I Need Never Grow Old" possesses the unknown beauteous quality that make it a conversation starter for decades hence.
