Source: Wikipedia
My Morning Jacket is an American rock band known for their reverb-heavy sound and enthusiastic live shows. Formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky, the band signed with ATO Records four years later. The band's moniker comes from a discarded coat lead singer Jim James found while sifting through the remains of his favorite bar after it burned down. The coat was embroidered with the letters "MMJ" on it. Singer/songwriter/guitarist James' bandmates are bassist "Two Tone" Tommy, drummer Patri...Read More >

My Morning Jacket have made it to the big-time. This Saturday, May 10th, 2008, will mark the band's debut performance on Saturday Night Live. If that wasn't enough news to tickle you nose then perhaps the news that the Kentucky alt-rockers will be going on an extensive tour of the U.S., following their summer escapade in Europe is.
I'm listening to the band's new album Evil Urges and am on track 2 "Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Part 1," which doesn't really sound anything... MORE

Last year, at Lollapalooza I was faced with the age old festival dilemma; 2 bands overlapped, both good, both "must see's" at least in your book. Modest Mouse on one side of Grant Park, My Morning Jacket on the other. I went with Modest Mouse. I knew their music better and besides, they were from Issaquah, WA, a town only 10 miles from my house. MMJ I only knew of, although I had heard they were a good show. I wasn't unhappy with my choice even when the others ... MORE

I'm only three songs in to my first listen to the upcoming My Morning Jacket album, and so far it's not too bad for a Prince album. Thing is, I don't like Prince. What the hell, guys? EDIT : I take it back, there's a good dose of Mike Mills' REM filler tunes and even a little Bread/Air Supply.... MORE

I wanted to go on record and say that the new My Morning Jacket album, 'Evil Urges' is as good or better than anything they have recorded to date. More mellow as a whole, and the band is even tinkering around with some electronic sounds...but worry not, it is still at heart a rock n roll record, and Jim James has raised the level of his songwriting yet again.
Here is one of my favorites from the album, which hits stores in early June.... MORE

Many people arrived at the Austin Music Hall, just on the outskirts of downtown, expecting to have some trouble getting into My Morning Jackets anticipated SXSW showcase. Lucky for MMJ fans the newly renovated venue was huge and provided enough elbow room for even dancing.
The band played a 2-hour set, following fellow ATO label mates The Whigs and indie rockers Yo La Tengo.
"A friend once gave me a mixtape with Yo La Tengo on it," frontman Jim James told the ... MORE
