I Will Sing You Songs

I know Z seems to be the consensus number one My Morning Jacket album these days, and while I'm not knocking it, I still think their "Golden" age (heh...get it?) was that period just between the atmospheric country of At Dawn and the brawny rock stomp of It Still Moves.  I'll never forget two truly epic versions of "Phone Went West" I saw the summer before It Still Moves came out, the band stretching everything out way too long and throwing in a barnstorming punk section near the end of its jam that nearly brought the house (or tent) down.  But thinking back on all that MMJ era's tunes, my favorite also happens to be one of their slowest:

    I would put my vote in for At Dawn for my favorite MMJ album. Just sayin'...

    You are not part of the consensus, then. I like At Dawn the best too, but I have to skip over "Death is the Easy Way".
