Purposefully released in the midst of possibly one of the most politically controversial elections to date, James’ new music is a call to action. James says of the album “I’m just trying to be a part of the discussion and encourage people to speak out for equality, to not be afraid to speak out for peace and love. All of us feel afraid at times in these absolutely insane times, but it’s important we speak our minds, cast our votes, and do not give in to fear and hatred.”

Co-produced by Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes) and Jim James, Mills describes the album as “the beautiful sounds of a violent collision between someone's past and future”.

“Same Old Lie” is available for instant download with album pre-order today. Tickets for James’ fall U.S. tour are also available for purchase today.

$1 from every ticket purchased for the Jim James U.S. tour will benefit My Morning Jacket’s Waterfall Project, which will benefit to the following organizations: Everytown For Gun Safety Support Fund, The Fairness Campaign, and Healthcare Now. Established in 2015, the Project is dedicated to supporting and promoting actions, big and small, for positive change in the world.
