    And It's Still Alright is a Rateliff record, and although he is joined by violinist Tom Hagerman, bassist Elijah Thomson, keyboardist Daniel Creamer, steel guitarist Eric Swanson, and guitarist Luke Mossman (and two drummers), the music sounds intimate as if it is just Rateliff speaking one to one with the listeners.

    It's a late night listening record set in the candlelit environment of the human psyche and a worthy followup to Nathaniel's Falling Faster Than You Can Run.

    Rateliff is writing about his own vulnerability again, rather than telling other people;'s stories, all delivered in a hog-calling bellow that helps set him near the top of the enormous singer-songwriter pile. [Apr 2020, p.113]

    It's one for the lonesome and broken-hearted, a great excuse to shut out the world and have a good cry. [Mar 2020, p.35]

    His latest LP largely lacks killer tunes.

    With the Night Sweats, he’s elevated with grit and muscle, but strumming solo on And’s Still Alright, he gets bogged down in a melancholy murk.

    Nathaniel se siente un poco más en control en este proyecto personal. La música tiene un nivel de sensibilidad que es lo que mantiene a flote al álbum. Es agradable escuchar proyectos que logran evocar sentimientos que pueden ser reflejados en paisajes, y en "And It's Still Alright" hay bosque soleado cuyas copas de los pinos dejan pasar la luz del sol que se extenderá hasta donde alcance la vista. Lo bueno de este viaje es que también hay compañía, una compañía simpática y madura que te dará tu propio espacio si así lo necesitas o te dará un cálido abrazo cuando quieras. Este Folk muy Country e Indie es un tranquilo espacio que mucha gente apreciará en momentos de tensión.

    Nathaniel feels a little bit more in control in this personal project. The músic has a sensibility level that keeps the album afloat. It is nice to hear projects that achieve to evoke feelings that can be reflected in landscapes, and in "And It's Still Alright" there's a sunny forest where the treetops let the sunshine in to the extend of the eye. The good thing about this journey is that there's companionship, a sympathetic and mature company that will give you your own space if needed or will give you a warm hug when you want it. This very Country Folk and Indie is a calm place that many people will appreciate in tense moments.    … Expand
