MUSIC NEWS - Capped off by their already legendary New Year’s Eve performance at NYC's Madison Square Garden, the year 2008 was truly a momentous one for My Morning Jacket. They released their fifth album; the hauntingly beautiful and mercurial Evil Urges, which has already attained classic status for many. The band is has now unveiled another project: the iTunes exclusive gem, “Live At the Palms”, or as the band calls it, "Ryan Pickett Presents, in Association with Pickettmax Films: Candles and Panties '08-the iTunes EP- LIVE in Las Vegas! A Ryan Pickett Production." The tracks were recorded last year inside Studio at the Palms -- the Palms Casino Resort's recording studio. The release is part of the iTunes' "Live from Las Vegas at the Palms" series which finds today's most influential artists performing live throughout the celebrated resort.
The EP, which earns it’s “alternate” (a.k.a. true) name in honor of the band’s Front of House engineer Ryan Pickett, includes the previously unreleased “Dear Wife” and the seldom performed, classic rarity “Tonight I Want To Celebrate With You” – which originally appeared on The Tennessee Fire. Jim James explains: "The purpose of this EP are to provide the listener with a sensual and deeply personal method for relaxational listening. It is to be enjoyed on a candle-lit bench, a secluded nook, or a sensuous dinner party. Under the careful guidance and watchful eye of Ryan Pickett, we have developed a highly pleasing method of subtle sensation! Who knows how deep thine gentle touch? Please to enjoy this EP!"
