The monsteriest monster of them all, Jim James of My Morning Jacket

Of the two recently-formed supergroups (the other being the Dead Weather), the Monsters of Folk is clearly the one I’m hoping sticks around a while. And they will be, or at least long enough to bring their show on the road for a long series of shows. Most importantly, though, they’ll be coming to Jim James’ hometown, Louisville.

MP3: Monsters of Folk – Say Please

Monsters of Folk is Jim James of My Morning Jacket, M. Ward, and Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes. Their debut album will be out September 22. You may start with the Traveling Wilburys references/jokes… now.
