    He's found his groove, what a great follow up to The Night Sweats debut album. The soul and songwriting shine through again. This album might have a couple less high points than the first but does not bore with filler. Killer tracks right through. Go see him live, its a great show!

    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!

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

    Sure there are obvious bands they can be liked to--The Band, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding--but its pace and passion make it a record to enjoy for itself, rather than its influences.

    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.

    On Tearing at the Seams, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats show off their hard work, their tightening as a band, and their high energy, irresistible performances.
