ETERNALLY EVEN | JIM JAMES
1.7.17 The Frontman for My Morning jacket's solo release purrs like a soulful kitten. Eternally almost sounds like if Al Green's The Belle Album meets later Leonard Cohen. Strong well written melodies drift in a river of lower rhythmic gut-punching frequencies. Beautifully repetitive atmospheric keyboard and guitar riffs are almost hypnotic on "The World is Smiling Now", "Here In Spirit" and "True Nature". Really nice bass lines help maintain the pulse throughout this record.
I thought highly of Morning Jackets 2015 release Waterfall. Eternally is a very effective effort Mr James and I really look forward to my next jacket some morning
