My Morning Jacket – Can You See the Hard Helmet On My Head
My Morning Jacket are a bit of an anomaly for me, I really like them but cannot pull any of their tunes out of the hat and say it deserves a place on whatever mixtape I am putting together at any one time. ‘Can You See the Hard Helmet On My Head’ could be about to change all that though because it distils all the vital functions that make them so attractive. Enough has been said about the similarity in Jim James vocals to you know who but it hardly detracts when such distinctive utterances are twinned with a glorious ramshackle in the background. The tune is taken from 2002’s ‘Chocolate & Ice’ EP, the last recording they did before their breakthrough classic ‘It Still Moves’. Sorry this is cut short in its prime but you get the jist. KD
