The Roots feat. Yim Yames - Dear God (live on Jimmy Fallon) //

With their new album How I Got Over dropping this coming Tuesday, the Roots got a prime spot on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform a live version of their collaboration with Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket/Monsters of Folk) with help from a large orchestra.

The Roots - Dear God 2.0 (Monsters of Folk remix) //

The lead single from the upcoming album How I Got Over is a perfect mash-up of The Roots and Monsters Of Folk, with Black Thought’s driving verses alternating with Jim James’ ethereal hook.

Whats with all the supergroups? I guess I shouldn’t complain because most of them are pretty awesome.  Speaking of supergroups, check out The Dead Weather. Anyways, if you like My Morning Jacket or Bright Eyes you will love Monsters of Folk. This group features members from both of the a fore mentioned bands.  They don’t have that same jam band sound as My Morning Jacket they do have an amazing country folk-rock sound that’s easy on the ears.

My favorite tracks include, “Dear God” and “His Masters Voice”

-to your ears. from mine. with love. jp
