Summary: Buy This Now! You won't be sorry.
Comment: Classic MMJ, with the oringinal line-up including Danny Cash and Johnny Quaid. Also J Glenn on drums.'TTN' and 'At Dawn' are both amazing but between the two this one's my favorite of their original early recordings (w/ the old guys). Every song on this album is Beautiful in it's own way. I'm in love with the world this album takes me to.

Summary: My Morning Jacket
Comment: This is a great album that rivals "At Dawn" as one of their best pieces of work. Early MMJ albums are a true treasure to own and listen to again and again. The haunting reverb and the amazing song writing ability of Jim James gives this album 5 stars without a doubt. The "lo fi" approach to this album was part of the magic that make this one of the best albums Jim and the gang have done. This is an album you can play all the way through and enjoy every track, I hold this album in high regard and would recommend this to anyone with good taste in music.

Summary: Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, until you feel it.
Comment: I was somewhat late into the world of My Morning Jacket unfortunately, and Tennessee Fire was the last album that I listened to from them. I started to fall in love with their other albums first and thought of Tennessee Fire as a decent first album, or a "good start," and when "Z" came out I loved that album as well. I finally started listening to Tennessee Fire a bit more while the other albums were gaining even more of my affection. It kept building, and building, and building, eventually "At Dawn" became the greatest thing I had ever heard, and "It Still Moves" and "Z" started to reveal their layers to me as well, and all this time, poor little "Tennessee Fire" sat there, lonely and cold, waiting for me to sit down with it and get to know it as deeply as their other albums, begging to me to give it the same shake I had given all of their other albums, trying to convince me it was more than just an okay first effort, but instead a beginning to the chain of the greatest and most soulfull music ever to be laid upon the once def ears of this world.
Finally, I felt sympathy, and after brief listens here and there, withouth my full attention, I lay there on my couch, with nothing but silence, and put on this album, with no distractions. Wait, wait, it's clicking, yes, yes, third track in and I'm starting to realize the power of "They Ran" finally, and "The Bear" strikes me even more than before. Every song now, clicking, sinking in; I'm getting it, "Nashville to Kentucky" means more to me now, I can feel the meaning, yes, "Evelyn Is Not Real" is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, on and on, I start to understand that the production ISN'T WEAK, it's calculated and intense and relevant to the style Jim James had invisioned for this haunting album. HIS VOCALS ARE EVERYWHERE, I'm not even high or tripping, and I feel like I'm freaking out by the intensity of the album; this album is arguably as powerful as anything they have done. By the latter parts of the album, there is no let-down at all. Possibly, the two or three most affecting songs are at the end; "By My Car, "Butch Cassidy," and "I Think I'm Going to Hell," and also the end track, which is instrumental, all are part of a cumulation that leaves you feeling emotional in so many levels, asking yourself how that was possible to capture on any type of recording device.
I listen to this album, among others from MMJ, and wonder to myself at times if it's even real; is anyone else hearing what I'm hearing? I want to SCREAM ALOUD to people, repeatedly, "CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUL THAT I HEAR?" If so, we should all be out on the streets screaming, howling, crying, hugging each other, revealing our newly found souls to the world, freeing our souls from the cage they have dwelled in, rejoicing in a celebratory victory dance while their music plays from the skies from a sound system echoing and drifting from galaxies far, far away.

Summary: 3.5 stars..... The humble beginnings of My Morning Jacket
Comment: Louisville's My Morning Jacket have released what is, in my opinion, the best and most adventurous album of 2005, "Z". It is hard to believe how much MMJ has matured in just a span of 6 years.
"Tennessee Fire" (16 tracks, 57 min.) is the 1999 debut album of My Morning Jacket, and quite a trip, frankly. It brings mostly a very intimate, low-key sound, which works well if the mood strikes you right. Many of the tracks don't even feature drums, and are just bare and not very melodic. Sometimes it works (such as on "Nashville to Kentucky"), sometimes it doesn't. This is pretty much a "hit-and-miss" affair. Much has been made about the "low-fi" sound of the album, but that doesn't bother me nearly as much as the lenghth of the album. Cut about 3 or 4 of the weakest tracks from here, and we have a 4 star album. The last 'bonus' track is an interesting instrumental, just beautiful.
I have seen MMJ in concert a number of times in the last 2 years, and they have out-grown their humble beginnings, no question, in fact I would put MMJ as one of the top live bands out there these days. "Tennessee Fire" is a fine album in its own right, but MMJ has gone on to much better things ("It Still Moves Me" and "Z").

Summary: ...in defense of the sound quality and everything that is sacred
Comment: Many reviews of this album rightfully confirm the unmistakable beauty of the songs themselves but come down pretty hard on the production value. I can understand the need to make such impossibly heartbreaking, devastating music more palatable and polished (and thus easier to appreciate), but I sensed that a few of these were coming at the album with a spreading, contagious contempt for what has become passé low-fi indie sound, which first of all does a great disservice to the legend behind "The Tennessee Fire"--namely, that Jim James and his crew recorded this entirely inside a grain silo. Secondly, bashing the production value seems to deny the art its medium, like looking at an ice sculpture and saying, "Well, what a stupid thing to make a sculpture out of." Lastly, what makes this "The Tennessee Fire" is the Kentucky grain silo sound studio, the garage band reverb, wailing, whiskey-soaked vocals, and all the echoes and scuffles and distracting dropped instruments that are all but an orchestra of lonely, desperate high school nights spent out in the middle of nowhere, playing cranked-up instruments on bad sound equipment. If you're going to take this into some lavish sound studio and erase what essentially makes this album so intimate, you might as well keep clicking until you reach the Billboard Top 20. You might just find that sterilized, studio uniformity you've been looking for. But if you want 15 incredible songs that all sound like perfect first takes with the ghosts of the four-track gods lurking in the cassette hiss, then you might want to think about lowering your quality standards a little bit, because this is a bad production at it's very best.

Editorial Reviews:

Debut 1999 album from this band that hails from Louisville, Kentucky. My Morning Jacket are a five-piece alt-country rock outfit who practice in a grain silo on a 1,000 acre farm. 'This may be the most lonesome record I've heard this year, with the reverb making it sound like it was recorded in the dead of night at the back of a concrete drainage culvert, kudzu growing on the amps, major sevenths littering the ground like cigarette butts. These kids can harmonize, too, a talent that most alt-country bands are sadly lacking' - Pitchfork. 16 tracks. Darla.
