My Morning Jacket has released nine studio albums, with 2008’s “EVIL URGES,” 2011’s “CIRCUITAL,” and 2015’s “THE WATERFALL,” each receiving GRAMMY® Award nominations for “Best Alternative Album.” Summer 2020 saw the surprise release of “THE WATERFALL II,” with the single, “Feel You,” making history by reaching #1 at Triple A radio outlets nationwide and on Billboard’s “Adult Alternative Songs” chart – My Morning Jacket’s first ever #1 on a Billboard songs chart.
In 2021, My Morning Jacket released their self-titled album that reaffirmed the rarefied magic that’s made the band so beloved, embedding every groove with moments of discovery, revelation, and ecstatic catharsis. Esquire said, “Its killer ninth album, ‘My Morning Jacket,’ is an 11-song set that channels an energy as loose and loud as their bombastic live act," while Rolling Stone hailed, "What keeps MMJ interesting is that their music never becomes too comfortable. It’s a spectacular vision where nothing ever seems quite settled."
ABOUT KATIE
The debut album from Katie Pruitt, Expectations is a glowingly detailed collection of real-life stories, a courageous document of coming of age in a sometimes-unwelcoming world. With a narrative voice at turns poetic and unaffected, the Georgia-bred singer/songwriter/guitarist treads endlessly complex emotional ground: mental illness, toxic relationships, the frustration and shame of growing up gay in the Christian South. But by speaking her truth with sensitivity and grit, Pruitt ultimately arrives at a self-acceptance that’s both hard-won and happily defiant.
“I called the album Expectations because I liked that it was ironic,” says the 25-year-old artist, now based in Nashville. “This record’s really about letting go of what other people expect from you, and being free to be to just finally be yourself.”
Co-produced by Pruitt and her close friend Michael Robinson at the home studio of Rounder Records’ Gary Paczosa, Expectations gracefully showcases her captivating voice—an instrument that alternately soars and howls and softens to a near-whisper. And while the album unfolds in a guitar-fueled sound steeped in folk and country and rock-and-roll, each track stays centered on the lucid songwriting that recently landed Pruitt on a “20 Artists To Watch In 2019” from NPR.
With its luminous groove and gauzy guitar tones, the title track to Expectations embodies the album’s infinite tension between strength and vulnerability, wariness and hope. “I wrote ‘Expectations’ as I was coming out of a depression,” says Pruitt. “It’s about how your whole perspective can change if you shift your focus to what really matters, and recognize that there are people who love you and can help you if you need it—you don’t have to survive on your own.”
Elsewhere on Expectations, Pruitt delicately telegraphs the pain and confusion that come from lack of belonging. A piano-driven recollection of her adolescence, “Georgia” juxtaposes vivid memories of youthful rebellion with fearful confessions about coming out to her family (“My father would scream out in rage/He did not want a daughter whose soul wasn’t saved”). On “Normal,” Pruitt offers a bit of finely wrought storytelling, sharply narrating the times in her life when she felt most like an outsider (“Marching in line in the halls of my Catholic school/Seven Hail Marys if I copped an attitude”). But by the time Expectations reaches its penultimate track—the gorgeously lilting “Loving Her”—Pruitt has found her way to a joyful self-assurance, infusing every line with her irrepressible spirit (“If loving her’s a sin, I don’t wanna go to Heaven”).
