Happy Monday!

oh man, so so good. I need an entire album of Pet Sounds/Wild Honey era Beach Boys. Ordered the Deluxe bundle since they ingeniously included A Tribute To on vinyl

[Stevie]

that's weird.. if you click on that top link to ATO, it says he covers Ella Fitzgerald.  But there are no Ella Fitzgerald songs on the track list.  The description must have been edited at some point after he decided to cut that song..if there was one.

Wow this came out of nowhere.  The man is always working (thankfully).  I'd love a JJ covers tour!  I can't wait to listen to the new tune posted above.  Thanks!

Agree. Or just a solo acoustic tour.

In a Facebook post, from Rough Trade records, it says all formats come with a Rough Trade bonus CD featuring This Is Romance and It's All Forgotten.  Either one of these an Ella Fitzgerald track?

one of the coolest pictures I've seen of him

good find! but no it doesnt appear so.  in fact i cant place either song via simple google search so they must be relatively obscure..

or

new Jim songs?

[TheRoof]

Maybe?

It's All Forgotten

This Is Romance

Just heard "The World Is Falling Down" and I must say...that was probably the most unlistenable Jim James / My Morning Jacket thing I've ever heard.

I agree that the latest single is a little jarring. There's some obviously mangled chords halfway through the song -- those might be the first bum notes I've ever heard on a JJ or MMJ track. But I think the flub just adds to the song's charm. And these are some of Jim's most impassioned vocals in years. Clearly this one isn't meant for the party mix, but toss on some headphones and you can't help but be impressed.

Have you heard the Backstreet Boys cover? That was straight garbage and I pretend it doesn't exist.

[wheelhousetunes]

The first Tribute To was great, but that was the At Dawn era Jim.

I haven't liked anything he's done solo since (other than his live performances of MMJ stuff).

I love the guy and I'm sure I'm in the very minority there, but it's just not for me.

I kind of dug that one actually.
