Nathaniel Mayer started his musical career in the sixties before disappearing from the musical landscape for several decades. It wasn’t until 2004 that Mayer came back with “I Just Want To Be Held” which was released on Fat Possum. It tasted like more and so he surrounded himself with some of his new friends (The Dirtbombs’ Troy Gregory and The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach among others) and recorded “Why Don’t You Give It To Me”.Listening to the album it quickly becomes obvious that Viagra isn’t an unnecessary invention seeing as this senior citizen likes to sing about the fairer sex. A lot. The good man’s withered voice along with a great backing band results in a whole bunch of sweaty rhythm & blues songs that are as exciting as they are timeless.
Score: 8 out of 10
