3 Songs: On Repeat – Remixed, Remastered & Reissued Edition

My Morning Jacket – “Run Thru” (My Morning Jacket’s breakout album, It Still Moves was released in 2003.  It was praised as an instant classic and was loved for its silo-sized reverb-rich sound so when it was announced that the band was going to reissue the album with a remixed and remastered sound I was a bit put off but frontman Jim James was never as fond of the record’s sound and wanted to update it.  Out Friday, May 27 via ATO Records – in celebration of the label’s 15^th anniversary - is the It Still Moves Deluxe Reissue and good news…it still rocks with mightier, crisper production and the addition of three b-sides as well as ten demo versions of album tracks all previously unreleased.) http://www.mymorningjacket.com/
