Title: MMJ In One Sentence

"My Morning Jacket lives in a world of wide-open spaces covered with a velvet sky, not alt-country, not indie rock, just beautify classic Americana music".
-allmusic.com & billboard.com overview

Ive read a lot of descriptions and comparisons over the years but this one seemed to strike the right note in me. Often times I feel like this music cant be put into words; it's just pure heavenliness. But if I had to chose a description then I think I would chose this.

Please share other descriptions

Music that makes you feel 12 again, without all the confusing erections, however, this happens too, but for different reasons (or maybe not).

"My Morning Jacket wants to flood your emotions the way music in a Cathedral can".

I took that off of the promo poster, but it pretty much sums up my thoughts.

My Morning Jacket expresses what it means to be ALIVE not in the physical sense but in the spiritual sense.

WOW!  Now I was thinking the exact opposite!
"Listening to My Morning Jacket will heighten ALL of your senses to an orgasmic crescendo where you get these floaty, buzzing, detached, euphoric sensations!"

My Morning Jacket is like finding a folded 20 dollar bill in the pocket of your Wrangler jeans.

My Morning Jacket is like my Pa's old baseball hat, the rhinestone-laden one.

My Morning Jacket is like your wildest dreams.

This describes them very well.  They have a very homely, American feel that just makes me want to travel the backroads of America.

My Morning Jacket is Cosmic Americana music.
