Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Debut 1999 album from this band that hails from Louisville, Kentucky. My Morning Jacket are a five-piece alt-country rock outfit who practice in a grain silo on a 1,000 acre farm. 'This may be the most lonesome record I've heard this year, with the reverb making it sound like it was recorded in the dead of night at the back of a concrete drainage culvert, kudzu growing on the amps, major sevenths littering the ground like cigarette butts. These kids can harmonize, too, a talent that most alt-country bands are sadly lacking' - Pitchfork. 16 tracks. Darla.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - sneaks up on you and stays forever
It took me awhile to get into this album. I'm not sure just how many times I listened to it before its brilliance fully emerged, but I do know that these songs feel like a part of myself that someone else is singing. Whether or not the average listener experiences a similar resonance, the authenticity of these humbly beautiful songs is bound to strike a cord. Hands down- My Morning Jacket's best album!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Spirited if unexceptional majority of songs
Heck of a debut from these sincere alt-country emos. Before they began tweaking their now successful multi-pop prowess, MMJ came out of nowhere with this raw, at times hard hitting introduction into rough acoustics, jangly reverb, and of course excellent vocals. Although the mixing leaves much to be desired, a humble and sincere power behind even the simplest of ballads makes some of the lackluster material shine brighter, although few if any songs predict their up and coming songwriting evolution ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buy This Now! You won't be sorry.
Classic MMJ, with the oringinal line-up including Danny Cash and Johnny Quaid. Also J Glenn on drums.'TTN' and 'At Dawn' are both amazing but between the two this one's my favorite of their original early recordings (w/ the old guys). Every song on this album is Beautiful in it's own way. I'm in love with the world this album takes me to.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My Morning Jacket
This is a great album that rivals "At Dawn" as one of their best pieces of work. Early MMJ albums are a true treasure to own and listen to again and again. The haunting reverb and the amazing song writing ability of Jim James gives this album 5 stars without a doubt. The "lo fi" approach to this album was part of the magic that make this one of the best albums Jim and the gang have done. This is an album you can play all the way through and enjoy every track, I hold this album in high regard and would ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, until you feel it.
I was somewhat late into the world of My Morning Jacket unfortunately, and Tennessee Fire was the last album that I listened to from them. I started to fall in love with their other albums first and thought of Tennessee Fire as a decent first album, or a "good start," and when "Z" came out I loved that album as well. I finally started listening to Tennessee Fire a bit more while the other albums were gaining even more of my affection. It kept building, and building, and building, eventually "At Dawn" ...
