My Morning Jacket - At Dawn/Tennessee Fire Demos Package

$15.98 (list price), Indie/Country Rock, Darla

Basic Story: My Morning Jacket’s former label compiles demo versions of songs from their first two albums, adding some rare and unreleased live tracks for good measure.

Sample: “Oh, don't carve me out/ don’t let your silly dreams/ fall in between/ the crack of the bed and the wall.”

Verdict: If you happened to buy At Dawn when it was first released in 2001, there’s a chance you already own its respective demos from this compilation. If not, this disc is a must have. The stripped-down lo-fi acoustic recordings of songs like ‘I Needed It Most’ allow for an intimate look at the creative process behind one of the band’s best albums. Early versions of Tennessee Fire songs are a worthwhile bonus but the At Dawn demos are strong enough to stand alone.
