I think this album is a thoughtful and passionate one delivered w/ confidence from a band who is stretching its musical palate. Much like Wilco did with their disc "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", MMJ is declaring that their interests are, and will most likely remain, in flux. They will not simply be thought of as a sweet new twist on southern rock. True, this is not the first time they have indicated that and delivered on it, but this is a more realized package in that respect. In fact, James' falsetto vocal deliveries and the musical distinctions between the 3 opening tracks leave you wondering if the more traditional MMJ sound is gone for good. Track 4 answers that question with a no, and throughout the cd, their more hallmark qualities surface. But what I love about the album is that, while ... Read More

Overall, a great rock album, showcases Jim James' and the bands diversity within the rock genre, Well mastered. Jim James' vocals are lodged in your head and the band has a certain Jam element that I love. The perfect sounds of the keyboards as well as the arrangements and the variety of Jim's vocals make it special. I would give it 4.5 out of 5.

3.At Dawn by: My Morning Jacket June 05, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $8.98
It took a while for me to "get" My Morning Jacket. But now that I finally figured out that Jim James is the new archangel of American rock, I've been working my way backwards through their studio work to discover what gems have yet to shine through my ears and tickle the musical capacitors in my brain. With some bands, looking into the past can be a hazardous course. But the MMJ catalog proves to be an intriguing, if inconsistent, study in songwriting development with very few bumps in the road. At Dawn is perhaps one of the band's most underrated albums (although the reviewers here seem to share my enthusiasm), but the fact is it may be one of the best examples of their shape shifting between dramatic, acoustic Americana gems and scorching, southern-tinged, country ...

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $11.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.99 You Save: $0.99 ( 8%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.69
great album; in the genre of elliot smith, mazzy starr, the morphine side of Beck. I recently purchased their latest album, "Evil Urges" and have only listened to it once. I didn't care for it but will give it more tries as this album ("It Still Moves") is so terrific.

5.The Tennessee Fire by: My Morning Jacket July 13, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.00
It took me awhile to get into this album. I'm not sure just how many times I listened to it before its brilliance fully emerged, but I do know that these songs feel like a part of myself that someone else is singing. Whether or not the average listener experiences a similar resonance, the authenticity of these humbly beautiful songs is bound to strike a cord. Hands down- My Morning Jacket's best album!

6.Okonokos by: My Morning Jacket September 26, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $9.99
The CD is an absolutely necessary buy for any my morning jacket fan. It gives you an insight into just how amazing this band is in concert. I personally have seen them once in person and they are even better in concert than they are on recordings.

7.Does Christmas Fiasco Style Ep by: My Morning Jacket May 02, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.58
One of the better Christmas albums I've heard. A certain Christmas feel permeates the album but it's not the cheesy traditional Christmas songs that you've heard way too many times. My Morning Jacket contributes their own tunes to this one and we are rewarded for it. They craft multi-layered, structured songs with lots of vocal harmonies. There are two gems on this one (not surprising for this band). They are "Xmas Time Is Here Again," and "I Just Wanted To Say." There is some nice harmonizing and Beach Boys-like vocals on the former. And the bonus track is something that if you've heard their first two albums, won't surprise you very much. It's a novel instrumental with three separate guitar melodies playing simultaneously, which pleases and challenges the listener at the same time. The Nick ... Read More

8.Chocolate & Ice by: My Morning Jacket April 16, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $5.19
One of my morning jacket's most inconsistent and weird recordings to date, "Chocolate and Ice" runs as long as a strokes album. The unfortunate thing is Jim James' muse led him to record a 24 minute "Cobra" that could have been sliced up into at least three or four tracks by itself. But, that's the thing with this band. They are very creative. Therefore they will follow their many muses down long winding paths that can lead to weird places; some incredibly beautiful, others weird, but they always manage to make it interesting. That goes for track 5, "Holy" where James voice switches from reverb and non-reverb, I guess, just for the experimental fun of it all. If you're interested in that kind of weird experimental stuff then this album is for you. Because there is not only weird stuff but there's also ... Read More

Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $5.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.49
While this live performance has only a limited number of cuts, they are of high quality. The guitar selections are outstanding and provide a lot of great harmony and quality acoustics. My Morning Jacket is a sleeper group that can whip a crowd into a frenzy with great intensity on their guitar solo's and a lot of energy. They remind one of the storied past of true rock and roll.
