If I were wise, I would pull a Mother Hips and break this post over two days. Unfortunately, I have too much music to get in before the week is done. Like I said on Monday, so much music, so little time.
My Morning Jacket has a very unique sound and a LOT of worthwhile tunes. I’ll divide them into ‘Rock’ and ‘Mellow’, and try to put the two or three I think you will most enjoy at the top of each section. If you like what you hear, there is a whole album’s worth of tunes on this post.
ROCK:
Gideon
Wordless Chorus (Great falsetto at the end. You should hear me attempt it while in the privacy of my own car…)
I’m Amazed
It Beats 4 U
Off The Record
Anytime (The first 10 seconds is my current ringtone)
MELLOW:
Where To Begin
This song was on the Elizabethtown soundtrack. Love how the song crescendos (particularly at the 2:00 mark: “It’s the art of feeling naked in your clothes.”)
Thank You Too
Look At You
Golden
Gideon (acoustic)
It Beats 4 U (acoustic)
I'm Amazed, Thank You Too and Wordless Chorus are my favorites.
okay, this is the second time i've come back to this post today–the links won't work. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.?????
is it just ME that's defective?
DON'T ANSWER THAT.
I hope they work…I'm listening to them now, so they should work. I had a little trouble getting them to consistently work last night, but if I hit refresh or closed and reopened the browser, it usually worked fine.
