My Morning Jacket is a four-piece band from Louisville, KY, led by singer/songwriter Jim James. The songs on Tennessee Fire (Darla 1999) evoke warm (and somewhat lonely) memories of a gothic country night. Electric and acoustic guitars, harmonica, lap-steel, drums and bass all join his unique (Neil Young meets Wayne Coyne) voice in a huge pool of reverb. At first you wonder if the sound will overtake the songs, but after the first chorus you realize that the beauty of these simple and emotive songs is only enhanced by the addition of this effect, and by the end of the first song, you can't even tell that it's there. Released to (world) wide critical acclaim, Tennessee Fire provides proof (200 proof) that heartfelt American music is alive and well, and living in KY. A must for anyone who loves the sound of alt-country mixed with wide-open spaces.

I don't know. I thought it was pretty damned brilliant...

Ok. So just like Okkervil River, I got into this lot only recently. They have a few albums out too, with another due out within a month, so there is plenty to enjoy.The first two albums (The Teneessee Fire and At Dawn) have a real raw 'off the cuff' feel to them. The band's trademark use of reverb is at its most noticable in these early recordings and really lends itself well to the songs. I've...

Whilst cruising We Have Lasers - you know, the site dedicated to professional portraits with various laser backgrounds, I found the turning point in laser portrait culture, back in 1991, when almost 60% of the students in this 3rd grade class teamed up for either the classic pink/blue line lasers (closeup ) or the more subtle purple/pink starburst lasers combo. You've got to hate it for the ...
