Yes, this one is going to be a classic.
The album I am referring to is Evil Urges by My Morning Jacket . This is one of those albums that takes a few listens (5 fore me) before it sinks it’s hooks into you.
I remember seeing My Morning Jacket the very first time I attended Bonnaroo 7 years ago. In fact, they were the first band I saw that year. They were virtual unknows at the time, but I kind of dug their Neil Young influenced rockers. Well, Evil Urges is a long way from those early days. Some critics are even going so far as to say they are the Radiohead of the U.S. of A. I can appreciate that metaphor, though, because primary song writer Jim James keeps surprising his fans by not writing the same song over and over. This one is chock full of surprises.
My personal favorites, which continue to change daily are Touch Me I’m Going To Scream, pt. 2 (with it’s hypnotizing keyboard intro), Highly Suspicious (which reeks of Prince, but in a good way), and Librarian (this ones a no brainer).

Have to get this album, I”ll prob pic it up off iTunes shortly. Goota love MMJ, their late night show this year might of been the best show of Bonnaroo this year. I saw the beginning (shooting) and then saw some later on the way back through. They where playing James Brown with a horn section, Jim James sounded exactly like James Brown, damn awesome.
