My Morning Jacket
Okonokos
(ATO/Sony BMG)

When you see southern psychedelic-jam-prog-art rockers My Morning Jacket live, two thoughts come to mind: 1) Damn, these dudes sound incredible; and 2) Damn, these dudes have a lot of hair.

See for yourself on Halloween, when singer-songwriter Jim James and his hirsute Louisville outfit are slated to release Okonokos: The Concert, a DVD chronicle of what appears to be a visually striking live show.

For the impatient fans -- or those with a burning yearning to blast MMJ's majestic epics while driving -- the superb-sounding double-disc Okonokos CD is available now. It features 21 strong cuts from their four eclectic and ambitious studio albums, performed with every bit of the power and momentum you'd expect from a bunch of southern rockers (but also with more skill, subtlety and grace than you probably anticipated).

Just don't blame us when you're shelling out again for the DVD to hear the 5.1 mix and see all that hair in full flight.
