the My Morning Jacket covers archive :: 70+ covers!

January 11th, 2010 by Matt

Though I was first introduced to them in 2003, it took a long time for me to be bitten by the My Morning Jacket bug. It wasn’t until I saw them at 2008′s Bonnaroo Music Festival that I really understood what all the madness was about. But now that I’m solidly one of the converted, I figured it’d be nice to collect all the covers I could find by My Morning Jacket and keep them in one convenient place.

The vast, vast majority of these are all live recordings of good to great quality. There are a few that don’t sound the best, but they’re worth having anyway. And though they aren’t quite up to Of Montreal numbers (86 covers!), there’s enough here to keep you busy for a while. So I suggest you grab DownThemAll, and download fifty covers of the best rock songs you could ever hope to hear done by one of the best bands still making music.

    I believe on 9-19-06, MMJ does The Who’s “A Quick One…” with Eddie Vedder (the day before they did The Band’s “It Makes No Difference”). You can probably find a good decent mp3 of it on Soulseek.

  • vinchooch

    This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. MMJ is one of the best acts and most talented performers of our generation. Jim James is a cool customer.

    WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP !!……SERIOSLY YOU PEOPLE DONT ACTUALLY BELEIVE THIS BAND OR THERE SINGER IS ANY GOOD DO YOU ?…..
    I HAVE HEARD GARAGE BANDS DO THESE SONGS BETTER !!
    CANT SING AND CANT PLAY IN TIME OR TUNE GET REAL YOU MORONS !!……
    THE EAGLES AND ROD STEWART WOULD HANG THEM FROM THE NEAREST TREE IF THEY EVER HEARD THIS BAND COVER THERE SONGS LIKE THIS !!.

    Well AB, poor grammar and bad spelling aside (and really, no need to shout or name call for that matter), you’re dead wrong. Listen to MMJ’s cover of Oh! Sweet Nuthin or A Quick One While He’s Away. MMJ is in a class all by themselves cover-wise. If there’s a better live band in America today then name some bands rather than resort to petty name calling.

    Here’s the Oh! Sweet Nuthin performance from Terminal 5 in NYC. I had the pleasure of witnessing this perfection:

    AB,
    your mouth is leaking brown shit

    I was introduced to MMJ in 2005 and immediately fell into a trace. They are just so incredible. I didn’t think I could like them anymore until I saw them perform live in ’08 at Bonnaroo. I just watched their unstaged performance at the Palace Theatre in Louisville, Kentucky: SO AWESOME!!!! They never disappoint. Can’t wait to see them live again in August.
    Thanks for posting all these I haven’t been able to find any good sound quality.

    Damn I was just sitting down listening to Sam Cooke hoping that Jacket would cover him one day. Found this. And it’s one of my all time favorite Sam Cooke songs ‘Bring it on Home to Me’.
    Thanks Man

    Geoviki: I thought I had that in here, but apparently not! Thanks!

  • Dillsnufus

    “Always On My Mind (Willie Nelson)” – nice cover, but the original is by Elvis Presley, not Nelson.
    Also, thanks for collecting these covers together!
