Not sure if this is where to post this but this seems to be the hot Jim James thread right now.
He's going to be on Steve Hyden's Celebration Rock Podcast next Monday the 18th.

Big show on Monday: My guest is Jim James. We talk about his really good new solo LP, UNIFORM DISTORTION, and the status of two (!) My Morning Jacket albums that are still in the can and almost ready to be released.

Podcast is up
Something to listen to on my way home from work!!!

Well when I'm wrong I admit it... I stand corrected on my The Waterfall pt 2 album theory

my favorite thing from the pod was Steven describing it as a record you throw on if you're having a BBQ and want to play some air guitar on a beer bottle. Yes and yes.
Don't you ever turn it off

Can anyone who listened to the podcast say whether The Waterfall Pt. 2 seems likely to actually see the light of day...?  It's been almost 2 yrs since when originally it sounded like it'd be coming out.

In all honesty, it doesn't sound close at all. Still needs to be mixed and packaged and it seems like Jim has a million other priorities right now.

The live album on the other hand... I am hopeful.

Attended the listening event at seasick records in Birmingham and the new album is pretty killer on first listen. Two things stand out. Jim is having a blast and guitars are rocking and up front.

The record sounds really fresh.

the sounding fresh thing is something he seemed to be looking for based on the interview.

I concur with this. First listen and I really dug it and think these tunes are going to be amazing live.

It definitely does have a loose/garage rock feel to it.

I'll admit I've had a chance to listen to the album for a week now. It is fantastic, a gift to Jacket fans. I can't wait to hear what you think, once it drops on Friday.
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

Those are some strong words John, lol. I can't wait other than "Just a Fool" and "Throwback" I am avoiding the album until Thurs night. I have a great feeling about this album!

I definitely caved and checked out the short preview clips MOWJO8185 tipped us off about.  I can't say that I am 100% sold on the muddy sounding production just yet, but these songs themselves sound absolutely incredible.  I cannot wait to hear the good quality full songs.

Checked the snippets and might have been a mistake, not loving what i'm hearing. I think I just need to give the full album a few full listens and then pass judgement.

It looks like my vinyl pre-order is out for delivery today!

Come Closer

Looking forward to hearing the whole thing, but I do wish he kept fleshing out the art pop/psych pop sound. I liked that his first 2 records weren't just MMJ lite.

Smart post is the worst... I was originally set for Friday, then Saturday, and now it's Monday as well...

Mine was originally scheduled to arrive on Thursday. This morning, I checked, and it's supposed to arrive on Wednesday (tomorrow). However, I noticed it had arrived at my local post office already, so I called them up to see if I could stop by to pick it up. They said to give them until 3:30 to sort packages, and then I could stop by to pick it up (less than a mile from my house).
