In the family of Wilco, Neutral Milk Hotel and Fleet Foxes sits this little country-alt rock styled band who have been releasing some pretty cool albums over the past few years.
Hard to peg down this band in any one style as they seem to really play in a lot of musical camps....often at the same time.
No question the vocals of Jim James will remind you immediatly to those of Robin Pecknold of one of my favorite current alt rock bands The Fleet Foxes.
"Z" is an excellent album that does not have a bad moment on the album and plays like a bit of a concept album really. My morning jacket carry many influences and play everything from the power pop infused "what a wonderful man" to the progressive rock inspired "Dondante" to the symphonic majestic tune "Gideon" to the "KNACK" 70's inspired tune "Off The Record" (yup.......that knack!!!!!)
