Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats will release the What If I EP on June 2nd.
It collects four songs from The Future sessions that didn't make the album, plus a reworking of "What If I." The new "What If I (Cook Brothers Version)" was produced and arranged by Bradley and Phil Cook, and is on YouTube now.
Rateliff says that remaking "What If I" was inspired by playing it on the road. "We loved this song on The Future, but man is it hard for us to sing live. Not just me, but [drummer] Pat Meese and [keyboardist] Mark Shusterman are screaming their harmonies. So, we wanted another version to add to some of the other songs we held back from the full length."
