My Morning Jacket

American rock band from Louisville, Kentucky, led by singer-songwriter Jim James. Praised for expansive songwriting, distinctive falsetto vocals, and powerful live performances.

Formed in Louisville, Kentucky; Jim James is the band's principal songwriter and frontman. Several reviews note a strong live reputation (Okonokos is a double live album). The band has released studio albums including The Tennessee Fire, It Still Moves, Z, Circuital, Evil Urges, and The Waterfall. It Still Moves was released on ATO Records (as noted in reviews).

DeBaser's reviews present a mixed portrait of My Morning Jacket: early albums and live work receive high praise while some later studio experiments divide opinion. Jim James's voice and songwriting are repeatedly noted. Live performance is frequently highlighted as a strength. Evil Urges is the most divisive album in these reviews.
