    Some of the more introspective, low-key songs (Still Out There Running, Babe I Know) are less memorable, however, and perhaps a clue as to why his earlier tilts at success came to nothing. But as with that debut album with the Night Sweats, you get the sense that this material only really comes alive on stage.

    Rateliff can be guilty of overwriting, as in the jumble of raging-wildfire images that drag down "Still Out There Running." His husky voice can lack the suppleness of classic soul singers; when he taps into his inner Sam Cooke on the dusky "Babe I Know," he sounds more fatigued than uplifted. Yet even when he overshoots, Rateliff's restless throwback sound feels like it's moving toward real revelations.

    Righteous soul at its absolute finest... with a twist of Rock for good measure

    This album is awesome. Like Sam & Dave made music with The Band. He's definitely leaving it all out there and we can all benefit!

    He's found his groove, what a great follow up to The Night Sweats debut album. The soul and songwriting shine through again.
