You should be listening to My Morning Jacket!

My Morning Jacket is the hippie, trippy, jamming rock band from Kentucky.  Formed in 1998 and hailing from Louisville, home of the slugger, Jim James and company brought a confident swagger to harmony and dance hall reverb.  As the story has been told, My Morning Jacket was coined after a discarded jacket James saw inscribed with the letters “MMJ” on it.

Celebrated for their prolonged and cover heavy live shows My Morning Jacket is a regular at the Bonnaroo Music Festival and in 2008 performed for almost four hours and covered songs from Motley Crue, Erykah Badu, Kool & the Gang, James Brown, and Sly and the Family Stone to name a few.  An eclectic range of cover tunes that has no doubt endeared them to a wide range of music lovers.

Their music gently washes over you and it draws you further in with an all-encompassing, but slightly elusive touch, wrapped in each note.  Their songs are drenched in vocal reverb that exposes subtle realities in calculated, yet at times, indirect ways.  The up side is music that’s never timorous even when sublimely calm, as it frequently is.

1. Rocket Man (Early Recordings Chapter 1: The Sandworm Cometh)
2. Hopefully (At Dawn)
3. Gideon (Z)
4. I’m Amazed (Evil Urges)
5. Golden (It Still Moves)

Their complete catalog feels optimistically alive with a sense of history, of things seen and experienced.  The band instills a closeness that’s rare in these frequently overenthusiastic, indulgent times.
