MMJ’s Jim James Books A Few
Folks playing along with Hardly Strictly Bluegrass’ medley guessing game might have noticed a clip from Jim James. The My Morning Jacket frontman confirmed the appearance along with a few other solo California tour dates.
The clip is a sample of “State of the Art (A.E.I.O.U.),” the first track on James’ debut solo album, 2013’s Regions of Light and Sound of God.
