Jim James, lead singer of My Morning Jacket, is set to release his memoir, while the band continues to honor musical influences through tribute projects, including a Neil Young covers album with Modest Mouse and Lucinda Williams. The group also performed a seven-night tribute to the Grateful Dead at the Fillmore and reflected on their legacy and future in recent interviews. Meanwhile, the band's 20-year anniversary of the album 'Okonokos' and a recent podcast featuring James on sobriety and creative renewal have drawn renewed attention.
