My Morning Jacket - is (March 21, 2025) • Page 3

ah yes true the greatest musician of all time put out a great record when he knew he was dying and wouldn't get another chance, something jim can strive towards

 

it's fine if you're over them / him, but it's kinda silly to say he doesn't have any good albums left in him

to me they seem rejuvenated lately, and if they match up with a producer that gets them more and plays to their strengths, instead of actively going against them, I don't see any reason they can't or won't knock another few albums out of the park

 

i … just said i kind of like the new album lol

 

but you also said the last good record Jim will ever write is Uniform Distortion - this one gives me hope for them in the future

 

alright man

 

Yea you said both comments. Don’t know what you expect ?

 

PS Die For It is also a great track off this. There’s chatter out there that it’s close to a Steve Miller Band track but I’ve yet to hear it

 

Out In The Open, Time Waited, Die For It, River Road are my favorites right now

 

River Road has grown on me too. Need a drawn out live version to seal it though.

 

this is fantastic and ill take a jim unplugged record

 

He's a great musician and vocalist but that song needs the full band energy for me

 

i agree with @DaydreamNation that i don't like the arrangement of it on the record. feels almost like it should be a heartbreakers-esque song instead of what they did with it so id rather hear it solo than with the arrangement on the record

or just give me the original cut from the Z sessions haha

 

I can’t do Jim solo for more than a song or two

 

the guitar tone on uniform distortion is peak stuff

 

Let me clarify, Jim solo acoustic

 

Eternally Even is probably my favorite LP he’s released.

 

Caught Grace Cummings tonight in Nashville in a small venue with about 50 other people. She mentioned she just arrived in the states for a run of dates opening for MMJ. Figured I’d pop over here and recommend getting there early to catch her set bc her and her band were very impressive. She is an oddball, but she might be the best live singer I’ve ever heard. Her albums are pretty good but they do not do her and her band justice.

 

headed back home to kentucky for the homecoming shows this weekend, can't fucking wait

and I am rarely excited to go back to kentucky lol

 

she did a wild version of knockin on heavens door with them last week in athens oh

all the soundboards from this show have sounded amazing so far. they continue to kill it live--even the crappiest new songs have more air and live in em from what i've heard haha

 

Feeling this a lot more today—possibly cope because I’m gonna hear a lot of these songs in the next wk tho haha. First 3 songs in particular are pretty good

 

Ill be there for the Saturday show. I havent been to one of their shows since Circuital era, so Im excited to hear some of the newer songs.

 

They were fantastic last night. So excited to see what they bust out tonight…we’re in for a treat!

 

22 min Dondante tonight was maybe the best I’ve seen

Prince cover, Dead cover, Honest Man, and Jim playing Bermuda Highway unplugged when the PA went out were other highlights (among many)

 

hell yeah sounds great

 

Absolutely unreal set. Wish I would have got tickets for more nights.
