My Morning Jacket music has a few key facets that make them an amazing band to listen to. They excel at musical buildups, well-timed changes, and powering through to big moments of tension that break out into huge moments of joy. There’s plenty of twists and turns and these songs are a great example of this.

“Run It” is a very chill and laid back song that has a head bopping vaguely country feel to it. It doesn’t have the rock forward drive that most of the band’s work has, but it’s catchy, fun, and has an undeniably upbeat vibe. The guitar work also adds to the lyrics about positivity and being happy with yourself.

“In Color” Is a great song to listen to if you ever doubt if this band still has it. Because it has that warm and rich feel that a lot of their songs have with incredibly catchy guitarwork. And the build up excels at preparing you for the backup vocals. It’s undeniably a fan favorite that may see play on stage.

Finally, 2005’s “Dondante” has a cool psychedelic sound backed by exquisite melody and vocals that might grab you into it’s musical spell. But where this song excels is in live performances where its long runtime can really wow a crowd and get them cheering and grooving. In fact, one live performance lasted for a clean 27 minutes that the audience was enraptured by during the entire runtime. But stick around for the build up, it’s totally worth it!
