[CRAZY-HORSE]

MY MORNING JACKET "the tennessee fire" 1999, cd.

this is the debut album from the four lads from Louisville, Kentucky.
vocalist Jim James has the same vocal quality as that of Neil Young, in that he can sound quite fragile yet warm, distant yet near. the bands melodies and harmonies are much the same in that they sound sweet yet lornful all at the same time.
its a hard album to place as it sounds a bit countryish with its acoustic sounds yet its still alternative enough to attract the youngsters.
theres nothing really great on this one, just a steady debut set which shows glimpses of the talent they have.
not really a good starting point for someone to pick up on them, more for the fan to enjoy, the tracks sound far better live than the studio recordings.
