Editor's note

My Morning Jacket's drifting, shape-shifting rock

A Louisville band that pulls from psychedelic, folk, and Southern rock without ever settling into one style.

For a sense of their range, start with 'Lay Low' and 'Touch Me I'm Going To Scream (part II)'. They frame the band's loose drift and electronic turns pretty well.

They've built a catalog that drifts from the raw, experimental feel of early albums like 'The Tennessee Fire' to the electronic textures of 'Touch Me I'm Going To Scream (part II)'. Songs like 'Lay Low' stretch out with a loose, drifting quality, while 'Only Memories Remain' carries a reflective, sometimes haunted feel. It's music that connects without needing to spell everything out.

They formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998, with a lineup that's included Jim James on vocals and guitar. Their sound has shifted over time, from the raw early work to albums like 'Evil Urges', and they're known for strong live shows, even weathering some criticism after canceling a Bonnaroo appearance in 2005.

Archive material and source history

My Morning Jacket formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998. The band's early sound was raw and experimental, and they built a following through steady touring. Their lineup has included Jim James on vocals and guitar, Patrick Hallahan on bass, Carl Broemel on guitar, Bo Koster on keyboards, and Tom Blankenship on drums.

Their music pulls from psychedelic, folk, and Southern rock, but it's hard to pin down to one style. Albums like 'The Tennessee Fire' and 'Evil Urges' show how their sound has shifted over time. Songs like 'Lay Low' and 'Dondante' stretch out with a loose, drifting quality, while 'Touch Me I'm Going To Scream (part II)' builds with more electronic textures.

They're known for putting on strong live shows, and their 2005 decision to cancel a Bonnaroo appearance drew some criticism but didn't slow their momentum. Tracks like 'Only Memories Remain' and 'I Will Sing You Songs' have a reflective, sometimes haunted feel that connects with listeners without needing to spell everything out.
