Under The Cover

Last month Jim James of My Morning Jacket released an EP of George Harrison covers under the guise of "Yim Yames." Since I've never been a fan of The Beatles or George Harrison per se, I wasn't really interested. However, after hearing his take on "My Sweet Lord" this morning was aghast. It's completely enchanting, uplifting and mesmerizing and totally sweet pickles.

The Monsters of Folk Teach You Manners

The project Monsters of Folk featuring Jim James, M. Ward and Conor Oberst if finally here. The first single "Say Please" isn't too bad. I don't know what I was expecting it to sound like, but, I was really just hoping it wasn't going to suck balls... and it doesn't.
