The Tennessee Fire

[JacketGal]

Dayum straight Jacket fans this record is amazing. I didn't get it as much when I first heard it, thought it lacked in production and sounded muddy. The first Jacket record I heard was ISM but going back and listening to the older stuff has been awesome! And what's nice about TF is that it gets more interesting and better with each listen.....at least to my ears!

I am officially hoping that they bust out By My Car this summer  or fall!!

(where's that thumbs up icon??  ;))

That is exactly how it worked out for me as well.  TTF was took the longest to grow on me and it still is.  In fact, I put it on this morning on my way to work.  I just got back from lunch and had to listen to By My Car and Butch Cassidy twice :)

Tenn. Fire is my favorite MMJ album and I started w/ ISM also. I'm hoping for War Begun or The Dark this tues.

I know what you mean. I am still working on "TF"! But hopefully like other bands that I love, the earlier material will prove itself to be just as substantial as the other work.

For me, the 1st listen to "The Bear" was immediate love--this warmed to the CD immediately.

Does"Butch Cassidy" make anyone else cry? it wasn't until I read the lyrics, and then every time i listen to it and think about it, i get this huge lump in my throat.

i love that song. it's strange that it's one of my favorites from that album.

My sister's love of Butch Cassidy and By My Car is so great that it's reached comical proportions.  She always jokes that she is going to request them live.  "BUTCH CASSSSSSIDY!!!!"  I mean I love them too, but she's taken it to a whole 'nother level.  :)


Anyway, yeah Tennessee Fire gets an A++.

Does"Butch Cassidy" make anyone else cry?

No, but Nashville To Kentucky could.......LOVE those lyrics.........and that chill-inducin' singin'.

Actually, just the other day, By My Car was the 3rd MMJ song  that got an actual tear to emerge.  Wierd what this shit does to me.

[Easy Morning Rebel]

You're so right! I loooooooooooove that record so much. I'm totally in love with the song "They Ran". It's brilliant! ;D

[EC]

I am officially hoping that they bust out By My Car this summer  or fall!!

Yeah,my fav MMJ record as well.It took me awhile to get over the low budget sound and actually appreciate it.It's a perfect record for those long lonely nights.

SO TRUE!

Still my favorite album.  The songs are incredible. When you long to know the inspiration, the mystery . . . oh, such is love.

[diggoryvenn]

The Tennessee Fire was actually the first MMJ album I bought; my friend burned me It Still Moves and At Dawn but I only gave them a couple listens before picking up TTF and putting it on repeat for about three days.  I was so pumped to finally see them play "The Bear" and "Evelyn Is Not Real" at bonnaroo this year.

[JacketGal]

I'm still on the TF kick. I can't get enough!  And the record gets better with each listen, is that possible?   ;D

[jrat]

i gave a buddy of mine all 4 of the albums i had, to see if i could spread the virus, and the one that made him sick....TTF. its by far and away his favourite. it was my least favourite for months, now i cant get it out of my cd player. the bacteria has multiplied and im covered in TTF!!

[dhollensbe]

OK, I finally got around to buying the entire album today, I had grabbed a few tracks a while ago....two words, LOVE IT

TTF was my introduction to the band in 2000 and it blew me away. They have never topped it since, nor will they ever, and maybe that's a good thing, really. But by making their sound bigger and larger, I think they've lost something of the magic that can be found on TTF. I just read the 'Show me your Dondante' topic and I thought it was funny how all the live band versions of that song are over 10 minutes and then Jim did a solo one of just 5 minutes and I just know for a fact that that version would have hit me the hardest...
