MY MORNING JACKET "the tennessee fire" cd,1999.
MMJ's debut set...
apparently recorded in vocalist Jim Jones 'outhouse' on his family's rural property on the outskirts of Louiseville,Kentucky....
way too much 'reverb' on the tracks here for my liking,sounds too cluttered and messy,although i still love their harmonies and Jones' fragile vocals..
not a good starting point to get 'into' these guys,which incidently our ex-esteemed member Tiggi did tell me when he introduced me to these guys music some two years ago..
these guys were compared to Neil Young back in the day but i cant see it on this album, and im a big NY fan...
almost certainly the worst album MMJ have released thus-so-far.
