The Profile

My Morning Jacket is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky, led by singer-guitarist Jim James. Blending indie rock with psychedelic, southern, and alt‑country elements, they rose with It Still Moves (2003) and Z (2005) and are renowned for expansive live shows captured on Okonokos (2006).

Formed in 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky. Core members include Jim James (vocals, guitar), Tom Blankenship (bass), Patrick Hallahan (drums), Bo Koster (keyboards), and Carl Broemel (guitar, sax). Releases on ATO Records. Noted for reverb‑rich vocals, eclectic songwriting, and powerful live performances; signature songs include One Big Holiday and Run Thru. The Waterfall was produced with Tucker Martine.

Nine DeBaser reviews map MMJ from early alt‑country roots to the genre‑mixing peaks of Z and the polarizing Evil Urges. Live power is a recurring theme, crowned by Okonokos. Jim James’s voice and guitar heroics draw frequent notice. Overall verdict: engaged, often admiring, with sharp debate around stylistic detours.
