2018 release. Jim James returns with Uniform Clarity, the My Morning Jacket front man's second solo album of 2018, produced by Grammy-award winning producer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, The War On Drugs). Uniform Clarity explores the acoustic side of the songs on June's Uniform Distortion with an intimateness rarely felt in recorded music. My Morning Jacket formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998. The band's sound, rooted in rock and country, is often experimental and psychedelic. The group amassed a following beginning in the 2000s in part due to their live performances. As the vocalist, frontman, producer and lead songwriter for My Morning Jacket, James has been instrumental in defining the sound of the band.
