RIYL: haunting reverb and George Harrison

Yim Yames - Tribute To

respecting elders on ATO records (2009)

My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James pays homage to George Harrison here by covering a handful of the Beatles axeman's tunes. All six songs on the EP are sparse, acoustic affairs that feature little more than James' desert-highway croon slowly working through Harrison's familiar melodies. The austere cover art says it all.

"My Sweet Lord" and "All Things Must Pass" are especially beautiful interpretations. Check 'em out.
