Band from Louisville, Kentucky make cool music which is slow, enthralling and invigorating
Dave Grohl was so excited when he heard My Morning Jacket that he met with the executives of BMG and told them unless you sign this band I am leaving. That's the type of excitement you feel when you hear My Morning Jacket for the first time.
From Louisville, Kentucky, My Morning Jacket are based around songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Jim James. The Sweatbees EP was originally released in the UK by Witchita in December of 2000. It went on to sell 25,000 copies. The Sweatbees LP is an extended Australasian only version.
Simply put it is a so called 'Best Of' of My Morning Jacket. It includes all of the tracks from 2002's split with Songs Ohia as well as the standout tracks from last years Chocolate and Ice. Also included are tracks from the band's phenomenal record At Dawn.
My Morning Jacket might be one of the new cool band's on the block but their music is miles away from the 'Nu Rock' revolution. MMJ's music makes you want to listen to AM soul. It is slow, enthralling and invigorating.
