  • The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
    Bob Boilen | April 12, 2021
    Nathaniel Rateliff stands in an old familiar place, sharing his pain. The Mercury Café is one of the first places Nathaniel frequented when he moved to Denver in 1998, hearing jazz, dancing, and eventually playing many shows there. For his Tiny Desk (home) concert, he's assembled a dozen players including a string section, backing singers, and some of his oldest friends: Joseph Pope III on bass, Mark Shusterman on keys, Luke Mossman on guitar and Patrick Meese on drums. On the opening song and the title track to his 2020 album, And It's Still Alright, they're restrained as Nathaniel sings about loss, including his friend and producer Richard Swift, but he's holding on. "I'll be damned if this old man / Don't start to counting his losses / But it's still alright."
    But restraint lets loose on the chorus of "Redemption," a song about breaking free of the past and written for Apple original film Palmer, starring Justin Timberlake. The ender, a tune called "Mavis," truly is a grand finale, a song that conjures up images of The Band singing Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" - and what a fabulous release it is.

    I look after a girl with profound intellectual disability who loves music...I play this concert for her and she absolutely loves it (as do I!)...she gets so excited when she hears the first track starting - I would love Nathaniel to know how much his music moves us, especially how it affects her! ❤

    And It's Still Alright is one of the most heartachingly beautiful albums out there. It's raw, honest and profoundly hopeful despite being enough to make you cry at every turn. It's an album for staring forlornly into the distance and reflecting, a slow sunrise for the dark days.
    I cannot understate just how much I love this album ❤

    We lost my mother-in-law to cancer back in March, and for her graveside service, my wife chose And It's Still Alright and Redemption as songs to play. So as I was looking at Nathaniel Rateliff's page I saw this video. Loving the Tiny Desk concerts, I let it play. Then I noticed that 2 of the songs in the set were ones my wife had chosen, I looked to see the other songs. I saw All or Nothing and smiled, as that was still very much my MIL. Then I saw the 4th song in the set, Mavis, and almost dropped my phone, as that was my mother-in-law's name. I showed my wife, we both had a good laugh, then a good cry.
    Thank you, Nathaniel and band.
    We miss you, Mavis

    I just lost a dear friend to cancer, a month after losing my mother-in-law to COVID-19 and today was the first day I heard "And It's Still Alright." Shame on me but my goodness, it stopped me in my tracks when I heard the words and they struck my heart like no other. I already found Nathaniel to be a very special vocalist and artist but this tiny concert was something else.

I think he's investing in keeping the Mercury Cafe alive in light of development. A crucial indepedent venue. Good on ya, Nate. P.S. If you like this, check out his old band, Born in the Flood.

    Wow . Nathaniel rateliff is high on the short list of great artists I need to see live . He’s done a great job surrounding himself with a lot of good talent too.
