Through The Years: My Morning Jacket
Welcome to another installment of Through The Years – the column in which we prepare a YouTube playlist featuring a video from each year of a band’s career. This week’s Through The Years includes clips of Kentucky-bred rockers My Morning Jacket in action spanning the years 2000 – 2009.
For the year 2000 we went with a live clip, but if you love MMJ you’ll love this four-part documentary about the band’s trip to Holland from the beginning of the millennium. Also of note, we didn’t come across any YouTubes from 2002 so we’ve got a studio clip that may or may not be from 2002 – a little improvisation if you will. Enough of the small talk…

I was late to hop on the MMJ train (saw them open for Pearl Jam in Albany in 2004) and now they are one of my favs, so it’s great to see the early stuff. I love Jim James’ (or, Yim Yames’ i guess) haunting voice and his solo material, but too much echo on the George Harrison tribute seems to make the songs all blend into one, melodramatic tone that I’m not sure I like. Anyone have any input on the direction of Yim Yames is going?

I first caught my morning jacket live in 2002. But it was the 2004 tour with M.Ward and Dr.Dog that got me hooked. The two shows at Irving Plaza were so nasty.
Cas:ev MMJ didn’t open for Pearl Jam in 2004. That show was in 2006.
That makes sense, thanks for “settin me straight” danfun.
