Led Zeppelin Loves Nathaniel Rateliff
Sometimes you read things that make you go “wow wow.”
I just went “wow wow” followed by “like, whoa.”
Our good friend Barton Dahl – who also manages Nathaniel Rateliff – sent over a message on the Google chat, insisting I go read what he posted on the shop’s Facebook wall. I did what he said.
Again…wow wow. Like, whoa.
The link took me to the MR PORTER Journal, where current “Man Of Note” Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin, Allison Krauss collaborator) lists his current musical playlist favs. Number one on that list? Oh…just NATHANIEL RATELIFF.
“Empty, fragmented and poignant” he says of Rateliff’s “Early Spring Till”. It’s a song I’m sure you’ve heard if you’ve been in the shop over the past couple weeks, as the volunteers have been playing Rateliff’s In Memory Of Loss on what seems like repeat in anticipation of his show at Everyday Joe’s on February 25 (tomorrow!).
Listen to “Early Spring Till” below. Head over to MR PORTER to get more musical suggestions from Mr. Plant. Tickets for the show- which are $10 in advance or $12 at the door – can be purchased here. Reed Foehl will be opening (that’s a treat), and the show starts at 7 pm.
