Nathaniel Rateliff on 'treading water' & finding his sound
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats has been attracting attention for its soulful rhythm and blues and its frontman Rateliff’s song lyrics--but it was a long road to get here. The NewsHour spoke with Rateliff before a recent show at the Anthem in Washington, D.C., about his previous career as a gardener, feeling like he was “treading water” and how his father’s death influenced his music.
