Interesting read regarding the new album cover, and the lengths it took Jim to get the rights to use it.

Awesome news.  Ordered.  Even though I'll listen on Spotify a thousand times more often, I like supporting JJ or ATO in this tiny way. 

Great read above about JJ's passion and getting the green light regarding permission to use the photo.

Very interesting that Throwback is on the list.  I so hope to hear that live again...... please summer tour!!

Eh, new song is fine and nothing more. Cool to hear him going with a more rocking sound for a solo record though! Still excited for the record, and especially excited to get a studio version of "Throwback" after two years!

Happy to see 'Throwback' finally find a home, but a bit disappointed it's not on an MMJ album. Hope the studio version lives up to those smokin' band takes and also praying it stays in the MMJ canon once the guys start touring again!

You can listen to previews of the entire album on iTunes. I contemplated waiting until the release to listen to it but that idea sank within 10 seconds. I'm impressed, it's all very upbeat and sunny. The production is honestly flawless, a real raw band sound. I'm gonna be playing this record a lot this summer! "Out of Time" especially sounds very big, that riff!!!! Throwback literally sounds exactly like the live version, especially Jims vocals.

(I'd also like to add my list of names to those who loved Eternally Even, In The Moment is my fave Jim song by a long shot. So smooth and sexy!!)

It seems you can't preview the whole thing anymore, unless I'm missing something?

I tried as well, and no preview for me either

Maybe it's just on the UK store (possibly others) it used to be possible to switch over, I assume you still can! :smiley:

I really hope we get some UK tour dates this time around.

I LOVE the new song. Thank God he's getting back to the guitar and rockin' out because I frankly didn't dig his two previous offerings.

Someone in the UK with a bit of tech chops, help us less fortunate folks out and record the snippets! Please and thank you!

Damn, doesnt come out til June 26th??? 

At least the prospect of a tour is exciting. 

Being from Milwaukee, I really hope he doesnt waste a stop on Summer Fest.  Absolutely the worst place to see a show and just not the right crowd for him.

The previews have now disappeared! The only way I can describe it for anyone that wants to know is a real summertime, driving with the windows down and volume UP kind of album. Imagine the heavier live Compound Fracture x10.

Sweet! So a pretty guitar heavy album (compared to the other solo efforts)? Thanks!

I keep waiting for another single and especially a tour announcement.  I'm thinking next week, which would be a two month notice for July dates.  If nothing next week, then many weeks and I'll postpone my hopes for fall or winter.

Same here, not a big fan of his last two solo albums. Jim is on record saying that he wanted the next Jacket album to be more Rock and Roll....hope this new Solo album is not done instead of a Jacket Rock Album.....anyway great to hear that Jim is back to the guitar and rockin´!!!!

tbh, i was happy that Jim's albums were so different from Jacket because I felt it allowed him another avenue to be creative that didn't quite overlap with Jacket. Now, with this album apparently being more "guitar driven", it gives me a little bit of worry (not a lot) about the future of the band. More so than them playing all the albums at OBH4.

I know the band will get back together at some point but this does make me think the break could be longer than many of us have hoped. Don't bust out the pitchforks, just sharing my thoughts.
Don't you ever turn it off
