20th Anniversary of Tennessee Fire

[rkwedge]

I was comparing to $50 through MMJ shop.

OK I see what your saying, the only thing I see different is the 10" x 10" Special Lithograph. I do not see that on Amazon or Darla.

Anybody listen to John Dyes Her Hair Red yet? Looks like it's available on Spotify for the time zones ahead of the US.

I also just listened to it. Have to go back and give it a thorough listen, but it has the elements of MMJ that I love. Specifically, Jim was trying out his "soul voice" for a couple of lines towards the end.

from the MMJ twitter feed accompanying the video:

friends, i'm pleased to share "john dyes her hair red" with all of you ahead of tennessee fire's 20th anniversary. this is one of the first song poems i ever wrote- i always liked the idea of a song being this little picture or puzzle, and not necessarily having to "mean" something or be about some big story or have tons of linear lyrics, but more just painting a weird little scene. i have always tried to make my music gender neutral when it comes to love or romance for the most part, so that a person of any gender could experience a song and not feel excluded if i was using "he's" or "she's" or whatever and this is an early experiment with that, of a person named john, which is traditionally a "male" name, who is dying her hair red and sitting in the shower til it all turns back brown- and maybe one would think- "well why did she ever even dye her hair red in the first place?" available in all the digital places! listen

I wonder if any of these songs will be played live for the anniversary show. Hmmmm.....

[Come Closer]

Disc 2 goes pretty hard. Inject that early Jim stank into my veins.

[jttouch2]

Just starting my stream of the disc 2 stuff, Flew in on a Dead Horse sounds like it came straight off a floating action record. love it.

[Cameron]

The two meter ITIGTH might be my new favorite version.

[dookie shoot bandit]

Getting a Flaming Lips vibe from the unreleased stuff (in a good way).

And agreed... I'm in love with this version of ITIGTH 👍

The handout included has an interesting tidbit of information-the originally proposed tracklisting of TTF included Just One Thing, which obviously didn't make an appearance til ISM. The first side was also ordered much differently going:
1. Heartbreakin
2. They Ran
3. Old Sept Blues
4. The Bear
5. If All Else Fails
6. Just One Thing
7. Nashville to KY
8. Twlilight

From Twilight on, the proposed order is the same. Just interesting that Just One Thing was initially planned to be on the album, then later scrapped-wonder what happened!

Rarely decent review from Pitchfork.

Lovin Plasma Ball. It's like a bluesy/jazzy The Dark.

Just came here to post this. You beat me to it, CC...

Revisiting The Tennessee Fire 20 years later, there is still nothing that sounds like it. This isn't always a good thing—the album is lo-fi to a fault, several of the songs are structurally immature, and the band's sound screams potential, but the eventual catharsis of later albums such as It Still Moves and Z is missing. But this is a debut album (a naive and scattered one at that), and for that My Morning Jacket score extra points—it is all here, dusty and unpolished, rough but overtly charming, a prequel to a modern day rock 'n' roll story which felt like a fable from the start.

BAM!

some of these bonus songs are insane. Flew In On A Dead Horse isn't a favorite but so cool to listen to, All This Joy is soooooo good. Gifts could be shimmered with Carldust right now and sound so cool. The reverb is calling Jim.

This is so good. They are going to start spoiling us even more I think, too.
