“Nathaniel Rateliff and The Wheel winning over the Music Hall crowd in a huge way, and for good reason.” – my Twitter

The Wheel

“I hadn’t heard Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel before last night, but they were a very pleasant surprise. Rateliff’s voice, which reminded me of the Tallest Man on Earth’s Kristian Matsson, strikes the perfect and rare balance between soothing and powerful. I’m going to buy his record now, and I suggest you do the same. Assuming you like Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes and autumn.” [L Magazine]

Speaking of his record, I found out last night that Nathaniel Rateliff has signed to Rounder Records who will probably release the debut album by “Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel” sometime in the Spring of 2010. In the meantime, you have three more CMJ chances to see The Wheel. Those dates along with more pictures from their set at the BV showcase at Music Hall of Williamsurg last night (10/20), below…
