be gentle...i'm new

hi,

I've listened to MMJ casually for the last two years, but in the last two months i've really fallen for them...especially Jim's voice on Acoustic Citsuoca. And now i can't stop listening to "where to begin" from that crappy movie (too bad, the imagery was beautiful). I just can't get enough of that voice.

I was wondering if you had any suggestions for songs/albums. I only have "it still moves", "Z", "Acoustic Citsuoca", and i have lowdown, they ran, evelyn, and a few others on my itunes.

I'm more into acoustic numbers, and "where to begin" could be one of my favorite songs of all time :)

cheers,

Matt

i think pretty much everybody will tell you to get At Dawn.  it's a lot of people's favorite and has some EXCELLENT acoustic-type tunes...Bermuda Highway, Hopefully, Death Is My Sleazy Pay, I Needed It Most.  Jim's voice shines throughout as always...also has one of my personal favorites Strangulation

other than that if you really like acoustic stuff i think the two demo discs are awesome (Learning and Sandworm Cometh) despite crappy quality on some songs.  they have a lot of great solo acoustic Jim songs

Tenn Fire might also be what yourve looking for, but id go with At Dawn first

thanks a bunch :)

Yeah, At Dawn would be my reccomendation. My personal favorite albums are At Dawn and then Tenn Fire. A big reason is because I am more into acoustic numbers as well.

As acoustic numbers go its hard to beat Sunrides/I Will Be There When You Die from  Early Recordings - Learning. ::)

some killer live versions from the FTP might help... ;)

We've had a lot of newbies ask for recommendations of albums, and, stop me if this isn't true, but I would recommend whatever the fuck you can find!  I don't think you can really go wrong with ANY MMJ material.  So shop away! 8)
