Jim James brought his latest solo album Uniform Distortion to late night US television earlier this week – check out his performance of Throwback below.
The My Morning Jacket frontman was on Jimmy Kimmel Live after releasing Uniform Distortion earlier this month – a record which Live4ever summed up as being, ‘as earthy as it is out there; as aggressive as it is fun and as brilliant as it is silly‘:
“The stand out moments are No Use Waiting, which might come off like some kind of terrifying hillbilly disco track, but for every eerie echo of 16 Horsepower you get an absolute downpour of Blondie’s Heart Of Glass. It may be dark, but it’s very moving, and a stonishing for its sheer audacity and agonisingly grinding funk rhythm.”
“At the other end of the spectrum is closer Too Good To Be True; Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits seemingly together on a fascinating, sultry, smoky ballad to things that once were. Every second is packed full of soul whilst radiating beauty and brilliance. It’s something special.”
