My Morning Jacket


I gravitate towards bands that evolve their sound, so long as it remains bitchin' and dynamic. In this category the contemporary heavyweights are Radiohead, The White Stripes (RIP), Wilco, Arcade Fire and hundreds of cool bands that I don’t know yet. My Morning Jacket doesn’t just branch out and experiment sonically, they’re not afraid to be brave and produce some weird and challenging sounds without compromising their integrity.  Bandleader Jim James’ voice can be soothing and melodic and then break out into an emulation of a high pitched, yowling guitar. I love when rock groups don’t take themselves too seriously. 

We're gonna rock, rock, rock
