Critical Acclaim<\/strong>
\n“In their symbiotic relationship, James, who performs as both a solo artist and the leader of rock band My Morning Jacket, has given Abrams and his orchestra an edge and lyrical depth. Abrams, meanwhile, has lent James a theatrical element unmatched by anything he could have created on his own in a studio. Together, they build a story complete with expositions, arching climaxes and grand denouements. Songs roll into one another in such a way that it\u2019s not always apparent where one ends and another begins.” Associated Press<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

“The spirit and sound here is a bit What\u2019s Goin On<\/em> and a bit \u201cNature Boy,\u201d addressing timely issues \u2014guns, civil unrest, newsfeed overload, delusional religion \u2014 and advocating for love over hate. It\u2019s good to hear the grain of James\u2019 voice minus its usual cloak of reverb; his writing\u2019s passionate, and the orchestrations show smarts and wit…It doesn\u2019t rock, per se, but it does soar.” Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
