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.

I've been listening to these boys while cooking up a storm in my kitchen lately. They are an excellent culinary accompaniment.

Ah, nevermind. Found the answer on Wikipedia. It is Touch Me I'm Going To Scream (Part 2).

I've heard of this band before, but also saw the American Dad episode. Is the song Stan is listening/tripping to in his car a real song by them? If so, can someone leave me a shout with the name?

This band is simply unbelievable. I'm getting their live DVD Okonokos on Netflix as soon as possible. This is the best thing to come out of Kentucky since KFC.
