My Morning Jacket | Okonokos
It would not be a lie if I said we had been waiting 318 days for the double live album to come out, since the two MMJ shows at the Fillmore that this CD was recorded at were the best of the year. Wait no longer, Okonokos sounds as good as the shows were last year. Two-Tone Tommy's bass just pops when "It Beats For You," right in sync with Patrick Hallahan's drums, showing this is the best rhythm section in the game today. Bo Koster's bouncing keyboards make "Anytime" a good time. The guitar intro is beautifully pronounced on favorite "Lowdown" but screams while keeping it "Off The Record." Carl Broemel's guitar screams "Lay Low" but he shows another side of his musicianship with a killer sax solo in "Don Dante," I can remember right where I was standing at that point, next to sister Rachel, the stage awash in green leaves. So, yeah, for the memories this music continues to conjure, this is a top 10 record of the year. Everything Jim James touches turns "Golden." - TK
