Jim James is the frontman of the legendary rock group My Morning Jacket. He is one of Jaymee's favorite songwriters and human beings of all time, a modern day mystic in the tradition of artists like George Harrison, Alice Coltrane and Andre 3000. This is a deeply therapeutic conversation between two new friends exchanging notes of personal healing, spiritual growth and devotion, and the art of surrender. Jim shares how the song "Wonderful (The Way I Feel)" arrived from a depressive spell, and the reverb accident that led to creating his iconic vocal style. Most importantly, he shares how success and meeting his heroes didn't solve his problems, and how the music of Marvin Gaye introduced him to the possibility of a God beyond religion.
