Jun 11, 2009

Your eyes don't deceive you. Monsters of Folk—aka Conor OberstMy Morning Jacket's Jim James, M. Ward, and producer/engineer Mike Mogis is a reality!

My Morning Jacket’s Jim James on Twin Peaks

Beyond Life and Death, Twin Peaks

Aug 01, 2010

Making sure I had properly saved my game, I pushed the power button on my Nintendo Entertainment System to bring that day's Legend of Zelda adventures to a close. When Zelda disappeared, there was a man staring at me from the TV—a sharp-dressed man in a fine suit with his black hair slicked back, eyes searching for something beyond me at that time. Special Agent Dale Cooper—he spoke to something in me that was “good.” Something that wanted to know the truth about what all those grownups were doing. More

My Morning Jacket

New Weird Soul

Jun 01, 2008

Like similarly inartful musical identifiers “pop” and “rock,”  “soul” is a term that elicits an intuitive response but that, in reality, has been denuded of any real meaning for modern listeners. Was it really created by Ray Charles in the early 1950s when he translated the energy of gospel music into a secular context? If James Brown is the “Godfather of Soul,” are his songs the template? What about Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin, possibly the two most definitive artists in the genre? Do they belong categorized beside Jamie Lidell and Amy Winehouse? What is the essence of soul music? My Morning Jacket asks some of these questions on their fifth studio album, Evil Urges.
