About My Morning Jacket
My Morning Jacket is an American rock band formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, drummer Patrick Hallahan, guitarist Carl Broemel, and keyboardist Bo Koster.
The band has a sound that is rooted in rock and country traditions and comes off as experimental and psychedelic. With a style that creates very cool and wild listening experiences during live shows and a unique sound that you won’t find on most radio broadcasts. As such, the band quickly found a following, especially during the 2000’s when they started making their best live performances.
But the band’s first breakthrough hits began in Europe after the release of their debut album in 1999. And My Morning Jacket found US acclaim following their second album. The band continued to work to find their unique voice with their next critical breakthrough coming after their third and fourth albums. In fact, some fans point to this period as being among the strongest the band has ever had, with others claiming that it was simply the start of the greatness that followed.
But the band’s later albums varied in critical reception. With some questioning if their albums really hit the stride and pace that was set before. But many fans were quick to counter these critiques by pointing out the strong tracks that these albums produced and the power this band brings to the stage. Especially when you consider how seamlessly My Morning Jacket blends their country and rock influences.
And it’s this combined influence that sets the band apart from their contemporaries and keeps them on the music map.
