We've Got You Covered: Jim James and George Harrison
My Morning Jacket’s Jim James (or Yim Yames) takes on George Harrison classics.
Jim James wanted to pay tribute to George Harrison when Harrison passed away in 2001, so James (under the name Yim Yames) recorded an album of Harrison covers called Tribute To. The album was not released until recently (July 11th), and can now be digitally downloaded on James’ (Yames) website, www.yimyames.com.
You can also preorder the CD or the limited edition vinyl. They vinyl will come with the CD and a t-shirt from the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. A portion of each sale will go to the Animal Sanctuary as well.
It’s hard to hate this album for the sole fact that Harrison was a musical genius and James has one of the best voices in music today. It’s a total must listen for any Harrison or My Morning Jacket fan (which I'm sure has quite a bit of overlap). Check out “Behind That Locked Door” below.
