Nathaniel rateliff new album7/24/2023 ![]() Each song noted here does its own share to make The Future an enjoyable new offering from Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. Much the same can be said of ‘I’m On Your Side,’ which comes even later in the album’s sequence. ‘Love Me Till I’m Gone,’ which comes later in the record’s 41-minute run time, is another notable addition to The Future. One of the songs that serves so well to prove this comes right from the album’s outset in its title track. The 11-song record is aptly-titled as its musical and lyrical content collectively shows that the group is indeed looking to the future rather than the past. Now more than three years after that record’s release, the collective has returned to form in its third album, The Future. That is because by comparison to the group’s self-titled 2015 album, it was far from what audiences and critics had hoped for. When Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats released its album, Tearing at the Seams in 2018, it went without saying that the record (the band’s second) was very much a sophomore slump for the band.

Those honorable mention titles just deserve their own special recognition. That brings the total to 15, yes, but the title remains, Top 10. ![]() All of these records and more are part of Phil’s Picks’ 2021 Top 10 New Country/Bluegrass/Americana/Folk Albums list.Īs with each list done annually, it consists of the year’s Top 10 New titles, plus five additional honorable mention titles. The record is another nice reminder that there is still hope for real country in a sea that is so awash in pop music that masquerades as country. Even Alan Jackson – another pure country artist – thankfully released new material this year that is noteworthy in the form of Where Have You Gone. ![]() Ronnie Milsap also returned with a great new, pure country music record in the form of A Better Word For Love, showing that thankfully, real country music is not dead yet. Bela Fleck’s latest album, My Bluegrass Heart, is unquestionably among the best of the year’s new bluegrass albums, on another hand. This group, originally from Durham, North Carolina, has walked that blurred line of country and Americana so well over the years and continues to do so to this day, and its new record proves that so well. Case in point is Delta Rae’s latest album, The Dark. This year has seen plenty of notable releases from across those genres, too. ![]() That is why each year, Phil’s Picks has put them all together into one year-end list honoring the best of all four of those genres, which are all really part of one bigger family of music. This is the case despite the reality that all of the genres are so tightly interwoven. While country music gets so much attention, sadly its brethren (of sorts) in the realms of bluegrass, Americana and folk get far less attention and credit from the mainstream. Look at all of the pomp and circumstance around all of the country music awards shows on television. Just look at how many so-called country musicians get onto all of the karaoke contests across all of the TV networks. From radio to television, it seems like it is inescapable. Country music (for those who want to call it such nowadays) is among the mot popular of genres across the musical universe. ![]()
