"Yet few landmark releases feel not only fresh but forward-thinking 20 years after they were recorded. My Morning Jacket stumbled onto this kind of brilliance in October 2004 when it released its fourth studio album "Z." Across 10 tracks of lush, euphoria-driven rock 'n' roll, the band captured a notable tone shift in its sound that melded Southern rock, haunting folk, psychedelic soul laced with jam band energy."
"It's a set of songs that still make up a huge chunk of the bands live show. In September the band performed the album in its entirety to a sold-out Hollywood Palladium for its 20th anniversary. "We still play these songs all the time," said frontman and principal songwriter Jim James in a recent conversation. "So it's not like we broke up after we released 'Z' and then we got back together 20 years later to play these songs, and it's such a trip. We've been playing them nonstop for 20 years.""
My Morning Jacket released their fourth studio album Z in October 2004, creating a sound blending Southern rock, haunting folk, psychedelic soul and jam-band energy. The album contains 10 tracks that shifted the band's tone and continues to form a major portion of their live set. The band performed Z in its entirety for a sold-out Hollywood Palladium on its 20th anniversary. A deluxe reissue followed, featuring four B-sides and a full album of demo versions. The record marked the group's first work with outside producer John Leckie and remains celebrated by the band and fans.
