Nathaniel Rateliff is set to release, And Its Still Alright, his first solo album in nearly seven years, on February 14 via Stax Records. When Rateliff began writing for the new album, the songs initially centered on the pain of his unraveling relationship, but the theme of the album took a different direction when Richard Swift, his longtime friend and producer of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ two acclaimed albums, passed away in July 2018.
