My Morning Jacket Keep Torontonians Out Late

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) June 17, 2008 3:00 pm
It might've been a Monday night, but fans showed up in droves for My Morning Jacket's Toronto stop. It was a strange mix of young and old, plain dudes and hipsters, which exhibits both the band's rock out appeal and their critical acclaim — all backed by one hell of a live show. Montreal sextet The Besnard Lakes were the perfect openers. Their...

My Morning Jacket — Evil Urges

in
By Jen White (CHARTattack) June 10, 2008 4:02 pm
Oh Jim James and friends, I'm such a sucker for you. This fifth studio album from the Louisville, Ky. quintet is a delicious mix of indie rock and country. The album, produced by James and Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, U2), strays away from the synths on 2005's Z and instead tries to emulate MMJ's full live sound. Instantly catchy tracks include "I'...

(Note: If you are a Pearl Jam superfan and belong to the Ten Club, this review is not for you. Though it is entirely positive, the ignorance displayed here will likely anger you and I encourage you to stop reading.) There are bands you grow up with who you think you might want to see once in your life. For me, Pearl Jam were always one of...

My Morning Jacket — Z

in
By Mike Armitage (CHARTattack) October 11, 2005 9:43 am
Once an obscure alt.country band, My Morning Jacket’s fourth effort is a nearly perfect classic rock album. Although the music is less twangy and more melodic, it doesn't lose the band's traditional bluesy/folk style. Everything — including the album artwork — signals that My Morning Jacket have matured. From opening track "Wordless...

My Morning Jacket — Acoustic Citsuoca

in
By Steve English (CHARTattack) May 18, 2004 11:21 am
With only three studio albums under their big-buckled belts, it mustn't have seemed right for this Dave Grohl-endorsed Kentucky quintet to bilk their fans with a full-on live album. This fistful of live tracks, taken from a 2003 Halloween gig, demonstrate that My Morning Jacket’s sound owes just as much to slowcore faves Galaxie 500 as it does to...

By Colton Eddy (CHARTattack) December 6, 2011 2:39 pm
Today, My Morning Jacket dropped a Christmas-themed EP that was recorded while on tour in Amsterdam. One can only guess how this festive idea was dreamt of. In an attempt to "compliment the warmth and sincerity of the Christmas classics," this iTunes Session EP re-imagines Christmas standards with Jim James' iconic croon, including "Have Yourself...

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) June 14, 2011 1:22 pm
It has happened before and it'll probably happen again, but in the end it doesn't happen every week. The campus radio charts not only have yet another new #1 album, but there have now been six different chart-topping albums over the past six weeks. Back in late 2010, there was a five-week period with five distinct albums that occupied the #1 spot...
