Solo Album From My Morning Jacket Frontman Coming

05/18/2011
. (Gibson) Jim James is about to push My Morning Jacket's sixth album, Circuital, dropping on May 31. But he also has a solo album nearly done.

According to The A.V. Club, James says he is "80 percent done" on his solo album, which has a planned release date of early 2012. It will be James' first official solo album, not counting the 2009 EP of George Harrison covers, Tribute To�, released under the moniker Yim Yames.

James says his own album is "a comfortably lounging around the house thing, doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I just love playing all sorts of different instruments, so I just wanted to be able to do that, and mess around with whatever I wanted to." more on this story
