If you're born in Louisville, you're playing the blues before you can walk. It's practically a birthright in that town, to grow up immersed in a culture that oozes bluesy music and charm from every surface, like an ingrained varnish that will never fade. It was into this soulful world that Jim James was born and raised. He's made quite a name for himself as the lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for rock sensation My Morning Jacket, and now he's really showing off his skills and strutting his stuff with his latest solo album, a range of tracks that taps into the roots of his hometown while taking the blues in a bold new direction and giving it a decidedly modern polish. Score Jim James concert tickets from StubHub to see this visionary musician live!
Rolling Stone magazine listed Jim James as one of the 20 hottest young guitarists making music, and one listen to his new solo album, and that accolade becomes instantly recognized and very much deserved. His riffs is a deft weaving of rock's earliest history and what James sees as its future. The history is easily apparent as is his bold, shiny, accelerated vision of rock, and anyone who's heard it has been instantly hooked by its textures that push the boundaries of rock.
When Jim James released Regions of Light and Sound of God, his first solo work and a significant departure from his work with My Morning Jacket, critics fans were floored. Everyone knew James was a prodigious musician with considerable talent who'd accomplished quite a lot as My Morning Jacket's driving force, but the staggering work of genius abundantly apparent after just a few notes of Regions of Light and Sound of God nobody saw coming. A mesmerizing work of art from start to finish, this album shines a very bright light on James and places him squarely in the pantheon of rock's greatest stars, and the opportunity to see him brandish this incredible new album live isn't to be missed!
Jim James is a deceptively talented artist.
