My Morning Jacket to Release Deluxe Edition of The Tennessee Fire with Previously Unreleased Songs

My Morning Jacket have announced the limited release of a deluxe edition of their debut album The Tennessee Fire, which turned 20 last month.

Set to hit shelves on Aug. 2 via Darla Records, The Tennessee Fire: Deluxe Edition will feature 16 unreleased songs, demos and alternate versions, and will be released in two formats: a two-disc CD in a six-panel double digipak and a red vinyl 3xLP bundle.

The vinyl bundle will also include a 10” x 10” specialty litho print, a triple gatefold jacket with unseen early band photos and original letters of direction for track sequence.

“We tried to do as many fucked up things as we could that we loved and hoped folks would enjoy,” vocalist Jim James said in a statement. “We laughed a lot and we cried some too, ha. We are so grateful and humble that people are still enjoying it so many years later, and we also really love playing these songs live still after all these years, ha ha ha.”

Both formats will be released on Aug. 2. You can preorder the release here.

My Morning Jacket are set to perform the album in its entirety at a special 20th anniversary show in Port Chester, N.Y. on Aug. 9. Pre-sale tickets for the show will be available on June 13 at 12 p.m. local time, and remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public on June 17.
