My Morning Jacket: “Okonokos” Update

Before the band’s symphonic appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman I had never given them a chance. I never cared to question whether or not My Morning Jacket were simply just another jam band, that I would more than likely not even remotely enjoy. or something more. But it was that performance, the song being “Gideon,” that changed my outlook on what some feel might be the greatest current American band. My Morning Jacket’s upcoming release of the concert film Okonokos and the accompanying two-disc live album look as though they are an amazing set of proofs given to persuade any remaining cynics, ie: anyone who didn’t see the Letterman performance.

MMJ are definitely one of THE best live bands around right now. i’ve seen them like 7-8 times since ‘01, never dissapointed me
can’t wait for them to come back to MN, it’s been a while…
Live or in studio, no doubt that MMJ are the best American band at this time. They’re unfreakingbelievable.
