Yim Yames

Add Date: August 25

Artist: Yim Yames

Album: Tribute To (EP)

Label: ATO

Genre: Folk, folk rock

Comments: Yim Yames is actually Jim James of My Morning Jacket (and the new Monsters of Folk behemoth); the tribute here is to George Harrison, as James recorded these songs upon Harrison's passing in 2001. This 6-song set, highlighted by "My Sweet Lord," has been released as a benefit for the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. If you didn't know these songs were penned by Harrison, you probably wouldn't recognize them, as the music here sounds a good deal like what MMJ was doing at the time--even moving beyond James' unmistakable voice. Very good stuff.
