Jim James, frontman of Grammy-nominated My Morning Jacket, has just released
the first track, “Same Old Lie”
from his solo
project, Eternally Even, out November
4 via ATO/Capitol Records. Lyrics to “Same Old Lie” are below.
Purposefully released in the midst of
possibly one of the most politically controversial elections to date, James’
new music is a call to action. James says of the album “I’m just trying to be a part of the discussion
and encourage people to speak out for equality, to not be afraid to speak out
for peace and love. All of us feel afraid at times in these absolutely insane
times, but it’s important we speak our minds, cast our votes, and do not give
in to fear and hatred.”
Co-produced by Blake Mills (Alabama
Shakes) and Jim James, Mills describes the album as “the beautiful sounds of a violent
collision between someone's past and future”.
$1 from every ticket purchased for the
Jim James U.S. tour will benefit My Morning Jacket’s Waterfall Project, which will benefit to the following
organizations: Everytown For Gun Safety Support Fund, The Fairness Campaign,
and Healthcare
Now. Established in
2015, the Project is dedicated to supporting and promoting actions, big
and small, for positive change in the world. Additionally, Jim is
again partnering with Global Citizen to donate two tickets per show to
their Global Citizen Rewards Initiative.
