My Morning Jacket


   
If you’ve never listened to this group, you’re in for a change. A combo of Indie rock, southern rock, a little country, but mostly their own unique sound, makes My Morning Jacket a definite for future classic rock.  Future, because they’ve only been around for twelve years!  The group formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky, with original band members Jim James (James Olliges) doing vocals/guitar/acoustic guitar/producing/song writing, Johnny Quaid on guitar, J. Glenn on drums, and Tom (Two-Tone Tommy) Blankenship on bass.  Current members are James, Blankenship, Patrick Hallahan, Bo Koster, & Carl Broemel.
   The name has its own story. When one of James’ favorite bars burned down, he found a coat in the remains with the embroidered letters MMJ.  That name won out over the others being considered.
   MMJ has released five studio albums, three live albums, three compilations, & numerous singles & EPs. They’ve had TV & movie appearances, & Jim James can be heard on a surprising number of other artists work. He covered George Harrison’s songs on a tribute album titled “Tribute To’ under the moniker of Yim Yames, which was released in July 2009.
   It helps to like jamming to really listen to this group, as they really all are excellent musicians, some original sound can be heard when they have an opportunity to let loose with their instruments.
   We recommend checking them out!
