MY MORNING JACKET – ROLLING STONE ARTICLE


As if Evil Urges wasn’t already setting itself up to be my most anticipated album of the year, Rolling Stone goes and writes a Best of Rock 2008 article and proclaims My Morning Jacket 08’s Best Breakthrough. And here I was thinking these country-rockers from Louisville had long since made it. Oh well, it’s definitely refreshing to see these guys get some awesome publicity and with this article the band’s newest LP has just been bumped up to my ‘most anticipated album of 2008′.
