One Question Jim James - article

Found this:
Q: What's going on with the new My Morning Jacket record?

A: We're trying to do it all live. Even the vocals. You know, the traditional Motown style of just literally playing the song over and over and over again until you get a take when everybody felt the spirit. The first two records for us were building blocks, where you lay down the drums, lay down the bass, build a wall of vocals over it. Starting with "It Still Moves," we've always tried to build the core tracks live and then overdub vocals.

When you make a record, you want to make something that's going to be satisfying every time you listen to it — so there's a certain amount of perfectionism. We're trying to go for a certain amount of (perfectionism), but at the same time, you get a take that has the spirit in it, that still has a couple of mistakes, that's better.

Last time a band did this, they got a grammy nomination! Of course, I'm talking about Sky Blue Sky

Tom Petty did the same with his latest album "Mojo".

excitement....building :o

This has been my hope for a while that MMJ do an "all-together now" album...they're imperfections are perfect, and none of their other albums feature such stumbling over great new riffs or melodic accidental jim-tones that you get from a live performance.

Mix this together with unconfirmed rumors that they're recording in a church and you have the potential for...A KICKASS 2011 TOUR SEASON  :D :D
