My Morning Jacket Owned Bonnaroo....Again

Photo Credit: Linda Park

Well My Morning Jacket played another marathon show at Bonnaroo. The set list is amazing, 35 songs over 4 hours and an appearance by Kirk Hammett of Metallica on One Big Holiday, man that must have been amazing. Does anybody rage harder then My Morning Jacket? I think not, they are 5 rageaholics with instruments. Here is the set list and as soon as I can get my "My Morning Jacket grubbing hands" on any media from this show it will be posted. I am really hoping Bonnaroo.com will sell this show in a high quality format, this time around there is no live album looming to prevent that, keep your fingers crossed!

My Morning Jacket on Conan June 19th

Check out My Morning Jacket on Conan June 19th!

I love any chance I get to see them, preferably live, but if it has to be on TV then HD is the way to go.

Early Jim James Pictures

I was just cruising the forums over at the MMJ official website and came across a link with some pictures of Jim James when he was playing in Month of Sundays. I think you can really see it in his stance in the above picture but check out the link below, there are all sorts of them.

My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges Acoustic project V.1

This will be a little ongoing project that I will periodically update as I get acoustic versions of the songs off of My Morning Jackets excellent new album Evil Urges. The first installment has 6 of the new songs; all these versions sends chills up my spine, especially Librarian at 3:48; you will know exactly what I am talking about. Unfortunately I do not think that this will ever be complete because I do not see Jim and the guys playing Highly Suspicious and some others acoustically ever but who knows what this project can transform into. Enjoy and updates will follow!

Jim James and Carl Broemel - The Black Cab Sessions

Stumbled across this yesterday... And never heard of it before but upon browsing their catalog they have some big (meaning good) names on there.

THE THING THAT COMES TO MIND REMEMBERING THIS SESSION, APART FROM THE LOVELY TWO MY MORNING JACKETS, CLAD IN CLOAKS AND CARRYING AN OMNICHORD, IS THE CABBIES. THE FIRST CABBY WE HAILED WAS AN ESCAPED CONVICT. MAYBE. BECAUSE ONCE WE EXPLAINED WHAT WE WERE PLANNING TO DO, HE COVERED UP HIS FACE AND DECLINED SAYING 'I DON'T LIKE CAMERAS ME, NEVER WANT TO BE ON TV, PLEASE LEAVE'. ATTEMPT TWO WAS A WHOLE DIFFERENT KETTLE OF POISSON. THIS CABBY COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE UP FOR IT AND AT THE END SAID HE WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO BUY THEIR CD. AND JUDGING BY THIS PERFORMANCE, WE'D SAY HE'S ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
