My Morning Jacket Inducted into Austin City Limits Hall of Fame for 20th Anniversary of 'Z'

As My Morning Jacket marks the 20th anniversary of their seminal album 'Z', the band is set to be inducted into the prestigious Austin City Limits Hall of Fame. On October 18th, the group will take the stage for a special hour-long performance on the iconic music program, with acclaimed filmmaker Cameron Crowe on hand to present the award.

Ahead of the TV premiere, the band has released exclusive footage of their rendition of 'Knot Comes Loose', a track from the 2005 album. Frontman Jim James explained the song's meaning, saying it's "about being open to embracing change and overcoming fear."

In a recent interview, James also shed light on the inspiration behind the album's one-letter title. "I thought it would be our last album. That's why I named it Z," he revealed, adding that he was "entertaining taking my own life" due to the powerful grip of depression at the time. Fortunately, the album went on to become a critical and commercial success, cementing My Morning Jacket's status as one of the most acclaimed rock acts of the 2000s.

To celebrate two decades of 'Z', the band will embark on a series of special anniversary shows this fall, performing the album in full alongside other fan favorites. It's a testament to the enduring impact of this beloved record, and a fitting tribute to My Morning Jacket's remarkable musical journey.
