My Morning Jacket is an American rock band formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, drummer Patrick Hallahan, guitarist Carl Broemel, and keyboardist Bo Koster.

The group's next release, ''Evil Urges'' (2008), was more polarizing for fans and critics, while ''Circuital'' (2011), its sixth album, saw a more measured response. The band's seventh ...
