My Morning Jacket shreds. Now that we have that out of the way, The D Man can speak somewhat more objectively about the Louisville band’s latest release, Evil Urges. An awesome, yet sometimes head-scratching set of spaced-out silo rock, Evil Urges thrusts My Morning Jacket into rarified air. There is no looking down now. Jim James and company attempt to elevate rock ‘n’ roll into a populist sphere where all comers are welcome—the jam-rock hippie, the Southern rocker, the metal-head, and even the R&B enthusiast can grab their v-neck guitars and fire up their lighters. After catching MMJ in concert, they may be the only rock band on the planet capable of actually pulling this off.
