Store Categories MY MORNING JACKET - The Tennessee Fire / 2xLP BRAND NEW VINYL / DARLA REISSUE
2015 repress, originally released May 5, 1999. Their fabulous 16 song debut album (1999). MY MORNING JACKET is a Louisville, Kentucky band built around the vocal and songwriting talent of (then 21 year old) group leader Jim James. The sound is hauntingly classic Americana that, at times, you'll swear is coming from a veteran Country singer you've heard, but can't quite identify. You'll think it's George Jones, Glen Campbell or some '70s Johnny Cash record missing from your mental archive rather than some fresh group of young bucks. MY MORNING JACKET combines classic Country elements with the melancholy vibes of Harvest and After the Gold Rush era Neil Young, Pet Sounds era Beach Boys, and the immortal vocal stylings of The Righteous Brothers. These boys sing harmony like nobody's business. The closest they come in comparison to the modern guitar sound is with the languid, pre-slow-core aural heroin of On Fire era Galaxie 500. MY MORNING JACKET are not another interesting but pretentious, posturing, or campy alt-country derivation. They're the real deal. James recorded this collection of songs at home on cassette 4-track, on A-DAT at MY MORNING JACKET'S studio in an out-building at home in rural Louisville, and we hired Chris Koltay to record four songs on 2"/16 track analog at The Afghan Whigs studio, Ultrasuede, in Cincinnati, OH. Most satisfying.
