You Better Call Tyrone

I must admit I was a bit late in getting on the My Morning Jacket bandwagon mostly because I pigeonholed them as a Phish-type band, which I am wont to do upon hearing the phrase "Kentucky jam band."

That all changed when I heard their cover of Erykah Badu's "Tyrone." If I ever pick up another online fire storage account, I'll get the studio version out. It's very tits.

In the meantime, check out these recent live versions. The first one is from the band's four-hour set at Bonnaroo, and the second includes Ms. Badu herself joining the fellas onstage. There are a few more complete versions available on Youtube, but these had the best sound quality:





Useless and retarded trivia: The lead singer of My Morning Jacket is named Jim James, so when he sings about how you're always bringing those guys around, "Jim James" is probably one name.
