Kentucky band 'My Morning Jacket' formed in the late 90's and by the early 2000's they were an emerging force, critically and with their live performances (they may even be partly responsible for the big beard trend over the last decade or so). They were building a loyal fan base, through constant touring and consistently good releases. Singer and songwriter Jim James has recently been part of 'The Monstors of Folk' side project and also released a 'George Harrison' tribute EP under 'Yim Yames'. "Death is the Easy Way" comes from their second album "From Dawn" and is listed on the CD as "Death is My Sleezy Pay" but correctly titled on the liner notes. The reverb soaked vocals are a Jim James trademark and add more goosebumps to the listening experience. 'My Morning Jacket' are best consumed alone.... so when everyone has gone home after your next BBQ, grab another bottle and sit back and enjoy some hauntingly great music. Either 'At Dawn' or 'Z' would be a good place to start.
