Louisville, Kentucky, United States (1998 – present)
My Morning Jacket is a rock band which formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The band consists of singer/songwriter/guitarist Jim James (vocals, guitar), Carl Broemel (guitar), “Two Tone” Tommy Blankenship (bass), Bo Koster (keyboards) and Patrick Hallahan (drums). The band is best known for their reverb-soaked sound and their enthusiastic live shows. My Morning Jacket is signed with ATO Records. The band’s style is a blend of alternative, alt country, folk rock and psychedelic rock.
The band’s moniker comes from a discarded coat James saw while walking through the remains of his favorite bar the morning after it burned down. The coat had the letters “MMJ” embroided on it. The band has released five albums so far: “The Tennessee Fire” (1999), “At Dawn” (2001), “It Still Moves” (2003), “Z” (2005) and “Evil Urges” (2008). The band’s breakthrough came when their 2003 single “One Big Holiday” became one of the most played songs on college radio that year. 2008’s “I’m Amazed” was also a sizable hit, peaking at #6 on Billboard’s Triple A (adult album alternative) Singles chart.

Can't wait to hear Jim's contribution to the Preservation Hall benefit album. Everyone should also know that the album is raising money for the PHJB's Music Outreach Program. Also, just heard about the MMJ tour dates with the Jazz Band. If you're lucky enough to be near one of those tour dates you should try to check it out.

Man, there's not much except shit for music in Kentucky, but My Morning Jacket is the one band where I'm proud to say they're from where I'm from. Sometimes I wonder if they're not actually as good as I perceive them, and it's just that "Well, they're the only good band from Kentucky" thing going on, but then I tell myself no, they truly are that good. I think their next album should be more in the style of "Touch Me I'm Going to Scream Pt 2", I love how it's this weird combo of.. I don't even know. Funk, soul, techno, disco? I'm not sure, but it's one of their best.
