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.

MMJ on ACL

The good guys over at Ultra8201 attended last nights Austin City Limits taping with My Morning Jacket. I'm a big fan of ACL and I'm super-jealous they were able to attend such a fantastic show.

Oh, and they also have the set list. Check it here. I'm not sure how they do the shows. I guess the band does an entire show and then ACL chops it down to the 30 minute or hour segments. I would imagine MMJ will get an hour episode after this one.

"Touch Me I'm Going To Scream, Pt. 2"

Or, what my wife says to me on a nightly basis. I kid, I kid. But, since MMJ is going to be at the Palladium on Saturday I thought it's a good time to post their newest vidie.

Rockin' The 'Stache

Mr. Jim James from My Morning Jacket was recently intereviewed by the American Mustache Institute. The interview is pretty humorous and you can check it out here. (Rock & Roll Daily)

My Morning Jacket Bonnaroo Live

Sure, Bonnaroo is sooooo last weekend. But, thanks to the good folks at You Ain't No Picasso you (and I) can hear My Morning Jackets entire show. It's a bootleg with pretty decent clarity. Enjoy! Oh, you can gets it here.

My Morning Jacket on Black Cab Sessions

Jim James and Carl Broemel sing "Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Pt. 2" for the Black Cab Sessions.

I like Jim's electronic instrument thingy he plays with. Does anyone know what that thing is?

My Morning Jacket Tour

The real Tennessee titans will bring their raucous live show back to Dallas in support of their upcoming album Evil Urges.

Unfortunately, no longer will they be able to play at the greatness of the Gypsy Tea Room, they will play the Palladium Ballroom in its stead. I’ve seen them four times now and they never cease to amaze me. (Ultra 8021)

Evil Urges Released By My Morning Jacket

The good men of My Morning Jacket have decided to release a free MP3 of the title track to their new album Evil Urges.

I thought about this the other day ago regarding the new album cover. I think this album cover is the first one not to have a bear on it. WHY!? I love the bears that are on the albums. So sad.

My Morning Jacket "Evil Urges" Preview

Rock & Roll Daily has a sweet pickles recap of MMJ's SXSW show which previewed most, if not all, of their new album Evil Urges. (Rock & Roll Daily)

My Morning Jacket Covers

If you've ever seen My Morning Jacket live then you know that having fun is a big part of what they do. Remember their prom themed show? Or the time Two-Tone's amp went out and he raced around with the bear around the stage? You can throw in the unexpected cover song into the fun bag mix. Well, now thanks to You Ain't No Picasso you can download a bunch of cover songs they've done. These boys from Kentuck sure know how to do it up right!

My Morning Jacket Name CD

My Morning Jacket have finally named their newest release Evil Urges. This is their latest release since 2005's Z. They really should've named the new album Sweet Pickles.
