Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats – Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats (CD)
This 10th Anniversary double CD edition celebrates Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats' 2015 debut—the album that took "S.O.B." from Stax-worshipping passion project to viral phenomenon and late-night TV staple. The expanded package includes the original album plus bonus tracks, live recordings, and rarities documenting the Night Sweats' explosive emergence from Denver's folk-soul underground to sold-out theaters nationwide.
Rateliff spent years as a respected folk singer before channeling heartbreak and sobriety into the horn-driven soul revue that became the Night Sweats. "S.O.B."—his confessional about fighting alcoholism—became an unlikely anthem, its "son of a bitch, gimme a drink" hook resonating with audiences who recognized the desperation and defiance. This anniversary edition preserves the debut's raw energy while adding context: early recordings, live performances that capture the band's sweat-drenched intensity, and material that shows how quickly they evolved from club act to arena headliner.
Double CD 10th Anniversary edition. Original 2015 debut plus bonus tracks, live recordings, and rarities. Features "S.O.B." and "I Need Never Get Old."
