My Morning Jacket takes a less-is-more approach with latest, Z
My Morning Jacket :: Fox Theatre :: Oct. 31
By Brian F. Johnson
If My Morning Jacket were an article of clothing, it wouldn’t fall under casual garb, for sure. It would be something ragged and rugged, yet cleaned, pressed and donned for special occasions, or even church. Not religious-type church — although you might get some exposure to that too — My Morning Jacket would fit best worn entering the hallowed halls of rock and roll and the Church of Reverb.
My Morning Jacket is, in fact, not an article of clothing, but a five piece Kentucky-based rock quintet that was born, raised and baptized in that Church of Reverb — a gargantuan sweeping temple with limitless ceilings and speakers as large as Peterbilt sleeper cabs. And, with its latest release, the band’s fourth full-length album, Z, its as if the band has graduated from altar boy to high priest.
