Jim James lovestaking walks. Infact, thelead singer for the Louisville-bred rock band My Morning Jacket once came up with lyrics for almost an entire album by disciplining himself to go on a ninety-minute hike every day. James spends a good chunk of his time now in Los Angeles, but he still owns a house in Louisville, a cute 1950s ranch east of downtown, and he likes hitting the trails in the city’s urban playground the Parklands or is in current rotation—other times tothe windwhistlinginthetrees whilehewaits for song ideas to come to him. They usually do.
