Jim James :: Acoustic: Newport Folk Festival 8.2.08

jim-james-live-1.jpg

Whereas parts of Jim James solo set at Newport gave way to Evil Urges — a quiet “Sec Walkin’,” and a peaceful “Look at You,” among others – it was Z’s “It Beats 4 U” that stole the show. While he fingerpicked a spiny melody and the rooftop rain slowed to a patter, James shouted out in a soulful lament, his voiced cloaked in his now-trademark reverb. For four minutes, no one spoke and no one moved: not the security detail, not the audience; it was one of those rare live moments when everything stands still and time arrests itself, and it’s these moments that James and My Morning Jacket seem to be creating more and more of. read the rest from Newport here…

  1. Awesome recording! Thanks muchly. Coming to the US for honeymoon next month, seeing MMJ in Vegas, very very excited. Never seen them live (also looking forward to M Ward and Oberst at ACL).
