“And It’s Still Alright is the kind of song you won’t find on the Top 40 Pop music chart but with millions of streams it clearly has plenty of appeal.

Rateliff has the ability to write powerful songs about common emotions that are shared by many, just the kind of emotions that show up in television scenes. His songs have had TV placements in Roswell, New Mexico; Yellowstone; Lethal Weapon; Grace and Frankie; Nashville; Fargo, NCIS: Los Angeles and more. Let’s see how he does it.
