Back to the Future

After live versions leaked on the internet, Kentucky’s My Morning Jacket decided to post the title track from its upcoming Evil Urges, out June 10 on ATO Records. As they put it, “We now live in the 90’s—the era of the interweb and instant gratification. These are confusing times for all humankind, but especially for those of us in the music world as you well know.”
