My Morning Jacket<\/a> unveiled one of the previously unreleased tracks, \u201cJohn Dyes Her Hair Red,\u201d from the upcoming 20th anniversary reissue<\/a> of their 1999 debut album, The Tennessee Fire<\/em>, out August 2nd via Darla Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Dyes Her Hair Red\u201d finds MMJ exploring a sonic realm far from their characteristically expansive take on southern rock. It\u2019s a stripped-down song that features just the clang and crunch of a blowout guitar, over which frontman Jim James delivers a simple and sweet vocal performance that still crackles at the edges.<\/p>\n

In a statement, James said \u201cJohn Dyes Her Hair Red\u201d was one of the first \u201csong poems\u201d he ever wrote. \u201cI always liked the idea of a song being this little picture or puzzle, and not necessarily having to \u2018mean\u2019 something or be about some big story or have tons of linear lyrics, but more just painting a weird little scene,\u201d he continued. \u201cI have always tried to make my music gender neutral when it comes to love or romance for the most part, so that a person of any gender could experience a song and not feel excluded if i was using \u2018he\u2019s\u2019 or \u2018she\u2019s\u2019 or whatever and this is an early experiment with that, of a person named John, which is traditionally a \u2018male\u2019 name, who is dying her hair red and sitting in the shower til it all turns back brown. And maybe one would think \u2014 \u2018well why did she ever even dye her hair red in the first place?’\u201d<\/p>\n

The 20th anniversary reissue<\/a> of The Tennessee Fire<\/em> will come with the original 16-track album, as well as a second 16-track bonus disc of rarities, including previously unreleased songs, demos and alternate versions of album cuts like \u201cHeartbreakin\u2019 Man\u201d and \u201cI Think I\u2019m Going to Hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with the deluxe edition of The Tennessee Fire<\/em>, My Morning Jacket will celebrate the album\u2019s 20th anniversary with a special one-night only show at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, August 9th. The band will perform the album in its entirety, along with other songs from that era. My Morning Jacket perform at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens August 10th, while prior to that they have a pair of upcoming shows at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado, August 2nd and 3rd.<\/p>\n
