As the frontman of My Morning Jacket, James has been making exciting rock for fifteen years and has also recorded collaborations under the alias Yim Yames, but now comes his first solo effort, Regions of Light and Sound of God.

In this interview, James talks about the role of spirituality on the record and in his own songwriting practice, and he'll explain how the solo project came about, starting with his recuperation period after falling off the stage during a 2008 show.]]></description>
