My Morning Jacket – At Dawn: 20th Anniversary Edition (2-CD)
Product Details
Released in 2001 on the heels of their self-titled debut, At Dawn announced My Morning Jacket as something genuinely different in American rock, with Jim James's reverb-drenched vocals and the band's cavernous sound drawing comparisons to Neil Young and Van Morrison while remaining wholly their own. The Louisville group would go on to become one of the defining live acts of their generation, but this is where the foundation was poured.
Two CDs. Darla Records is pleased to offer the expanded 20th Anniversary Edition of My Morning Jacket's classic breakthrough record At Dawn with the added bonus of a complete Jim James live acoustic set of seven tracks recorded by Erik Wofford in the Radiology X-ray Room of the old Student Health Center, University of Texas, March 17, 2001, just three weeks before the release of At Dawn. The live performance was recorded and later broadcast on KVRX. Featured all together here for the first time are six previously unreleased tracks from the session, plus Bermuda Highway (Live KVRX) from the same, which is also featured on the compilation Chapter 2: Early Recordings. This is a recording of outstanding quality and captures a peak performance by Jim James.
