The new holiday-themed iTunes Session EP from My Morning Jacket is available nowand features beautiful renditions of Christmas standards “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and "Please Come Home For Christmas". It also includes two special holiday gifts: a reworking of Circuital’s “Wonderful (The Way I Feel)” and a brand new song “Welcome Home.”
The song "When The Bells Start Ringing" has also been selected as the Single of The Week. The free download is available here.
This collection of music was recorded in one 14-hour session while on tour in Amsterdam. Like on Circuital, each track was recorded live as a one-take performance, capturing the organic spontaneity My Morning Jacket has come to embody. Included on two songs are Seattle's The Head And The Heart who opened for the recent European tour.
