Early MMJ captures the group in its formative years — and comes complete with Elvis cover!
Label: Re:Live / The Orchard

Kentuckian Jim James, with assorted relatives and friends, works out on long, shambolic jams in his grandparents 'barn, in service to the Canuck daïmon that animates most neo-redneck rockers of a certain age: Neil Young. Former farm boy James, possessed of a high lonesome quaver and trigger-happy with the reverb, also produces music best experienced live, this disc presenting the embryonic stage of his Louisville quintet's "sheets of sound" process. Half-stepping as they do between soil verities and rock & roll glamour, My Morning Jacket seems on a mission to provide neo-classic Americana and digital spirituals for those of us who believe in "more barn!"

love this group

jacknky

This is an amazing album, full of good songwriting, hooks, musicianship and great singing. I'm 63 years old and have listened to and enjoyed a LOT of rock/pop music in my time. MMJ is the first group I've REALLY gotten excited about in a looong time. They have a freshness I find lacking in most modern music. My wife loves them too. We're going to see them live first chance we get.

If you are like me, you can't get enough of My Morning Jacket, so I count this as a must live recording for the die-hard fan. If you are just checking out MMJ, I'd stick with studio albums first. There are also many "free" live performances out there under creative commons licensing that you can download and check out.

Tracks 2,3,6, AND 7 are great. The rest are so-so.

awesome band

Americana1

couldnt give it ***** stars just because I have the albums and prefer the studio versions. Songs 2, 6, 7 and 3. Also check out My Morning Jacket/Songs: Ohia (Split) -- track 1 for MMJ and track 5 for Songs: Ohia are both good
