Yim Yames (aka Jim James, lead singer/guitarist for the excellent My Morning Jacket) has issued this simple EP as a tribute to George Harrison. Reworked here are six songs selected from Harrison's catalogue that get a simple, well-orchestrated revamping. Yames' trademark echoey vocals are still prevalent but instead of intricate guitar work as often is associated with MMJ, it is a far more low-key affair as it is mostly just an acoustic guitar (with the occasional piano or banjo) and Harrison's lyrics at the forefront. A beautiful little listen that will appease MMJ fans and entice for Yames/James' upcoming solo effort.
Thanks. I heart George Harrison.
