Dawes, 'Stories Don't End' – Album Review

Will Levith — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:00:41 +0000

Dawes is one of those rare rock acts -- think Kings of Leon or Ray LaMontagne -- that glides effortlessly between popular music and a believably vintage-sounding aesthetic. Singer Taylor Goldsmith’s analog lead vocals may be unique for the ProTools-era listener, but his delivery is, unquestionably, a chip off of Jackson Browne’s old block. (Somewhat ironically, the band has backed Browne on tour). Which, in recent years, has left us scratching our heads. Does this band have an authenticity problem, or is this the sound of rock music’s Next Big Thing?

10 Best My Morning Jacket Songs

Michael Gallucci — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:51:19 +0000

My Morning Jacket have been many things over the past dozen-plus years: an alt-country band, an indie-rock band, a psych-rock band and a funkified R&B band. Credit frontman Jim James' restlessness for these shifts every couple of years. There are few similarities between 1999's twangy debut album, 'The Tennessee Fire,' and 2011's free-form 'Circuital.' The [...]

My Morning Jacket, 'Outta My System' – Song Review

Joe Robinson — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:30:10 +0000

Most bands tour to support new albums, but My Morning Jacket seem to have the opposite approach. They release new albums so they have an excuse to stay on the road. That's not surprising -- although considered an indie rock act, MMJ may have just as much in common with the jam band greats like the Grateful Dead and Phish -- and as stellar as some of their studio releases have been, their real triumphs have been live.
