The lo-fi country band it’s evidently alright for new rock revolutionaries to like, Kentucky’s superbly hairy My Morning Jacket usher in the first British release of their two albums with this handy seven-inch guide to their considerable skills. ‘Just Because I Do’ is raggedy-arsed, sore-headed rock’n’roll that may be related to Drink.
