The Black Cab Sessions. Chapter Forty-three: My Morning Jack

[Cyclopsifications]

I've just came to the conclusion that people with beards make the best music.

[Sara10393]

best fucking band in the world.

[TheBrokenlizzard]

cool as funk !

[eronsky37]

There is nothing better.

[PoshMop]

an omnichord is not an instrument.

[loungelovers]

You guys are totally nerds, but I loved this :D

I really loved it :)

Thank you

[TheFloorFellAway]

Love this song.



[number1musiccritic]

Thumbs up to get Castlecomer in a Black Cab Session.

Don't know what i'm talking about, type in "Castlecomer - Amazing Grace"

[domesticplatypus]

The instrument is a Suzuki Omnichord OM-100, a weird autoharp synthesizer from the 1980s. Pop up occasionally on eBay.

[TomMinderson]

@domesticplatypus, the "new" version of the Omnichord is called a Q-chord.

[cheddahshreddah]

That contraption is called an omnichord

[realfreakaynaughtay]

My Morning Cape.

[SpoonAllNight]

@realfreakaynaughtay My thoughts exactly!

[cudi1is3god]

what is that contraption??

[21scuderia]

1:58 he realized his voice was out of tune

[GameMe44]

The CAPE!

[TheJdfuentes]

hes wearing the cape!

[EULOGIOCHEFF]

I just fell in love !

[craptrap]

There's echo on his vocal - quite clearly in the beginning. Nice cab efx and great song.

[TheKinggringo]

@craptrap His voice is amazing plain and simple. There is no echo. You are wrong. do not respond and instead listen to more of their music. You will see that is how he always sounds

[craptrap]

@TheKinggringo You're right - I meant room-delay rather. It's there, however. But his voice is great none the less,

[aleksisis]

wanna be as cool as jim james? you can buy an omnichord here!: gomusicstl. com/post/7945997655/a-better-p­icture-of-the-omnichord-manual

[SouthernBasterd]

this is fucking awesome

[fbmandy55]

Also, I think the driver is Doug Wilson from Weeds, in about 15 years..

[fbmandy55]

I'll admit I'm not a huge MMJ fan BUT for the longest time I have had an uncontrolable attraction to JIM. WTF. I've never even seen them live and I am convinced that I am in love with him. Jim James is the sexiest motherfucker in the world! I can't take it!!!

road trip!

[nickhurley]

Jim Motherfucking James..i am convinced when an angel has an orgasim it sounds like jim

[GingerAleRain]

no need for a 44

[TheMeljude51]

i want an omnichord



[tollert1]

it's definitely a 100. i saw another video that was an upclose shot, but for some reason it wont let me post it here

[tollert1]

anyone know what model omnichord this is? my guess is OM-100. i have the OM-36, but I think this one lets you record your own bass line loop. or maybe it just has more drum/bass options?

[repoman1980]

@tollert1 I thought it might be the OM-300, judging from the ones I have seen on eBay.

If you type "Omnichord OM300 Demonstration" into youtube, you'll get a good look at one

[alornk201]

@tollert1 Google "Suzuki Music Omnichord" and go to the first link, it should take you to pictures of all the models. Based on those pictures and then referencing the video, I'd agree its the 100

The 100's keys are all white, as are the 3 "bars" beneath the word Omnichord, whereas on the 300 model certain keys are gray, as are the "bars" below the word. Also, the spot where Jim has the octopus thing would not be able to go on the 300 because there is a large dial there, but could go on the 100

[tollert1]

[joggejor]

Wich kind of crazy startrek-species gave him this instrument ?!!

[MorningMrSun]

@joggejor It's an Omni-Chord. Grizzly Bear and Half-Handed cloud have used one. More people should!

[lps81682live]

Love black cab sessions and MJ, so happy I found this! Now I want a Omnichord too...

[shroudthestars]

Cannot stop watching this.

[neenieweeny]

What is he playing? I need one!!

[TheRy2113]

@neenieweeny it's called an Omnichord. I AM HELLBENT ON GETTING ONE! They're so cool! You can find them online but if you're planning on getting one make sure it's one of the 80's model cause the the newer model's sound are too generic and they're stupid and they're not as cool. lol Most likely you'll find them online or any flea market (assuming).

[triumphrider9396]

One of the best videos I've EVER, EVER seen!!

[777chriss0r]

did you search for Part One? I Did

[watashiwanachodes]

i would like to see noah lennox giving it a try at this moving-cab playing.. hed be mind blowing.. oh and bradford cox would be a treat as well! :D

[CaliforniaJoker1]

If I was still at school, after watching this video, I *would* be wearing a cape to class on Monday.

[Backtizzail]

What is that thing he's using??!!! I want to buy one of those asap!

[darth1994]

the driver got the british smile :D

[serbwithblade]

brush my teef with a bottle of my morning jacket

[rhynoNOrhino]

WOOT omni chord!!

[jtdiver]

JJ's voice is amazing

[fbmandy55]

Jim is so fucking sexy.

[Rauhel]

alright i thought honestly this was gonna be too raw and kinda suck... but i think the answer is obvious....

[0BlueJayWay0]

Even in the back of a cab Jim and Carl are mind blowing.

[TheMandarklaughs]

briliant

[CoolestPoodle]

Love this song!!!!  Please be at Bonnaroo this year!!!!

[jgpardal]

Ok I already read the other comments. It's an omnichord.

[soueubanano]

Can someone please tell me what is Jim playing?

[rhynoNOrhino]

@soueubanano its an OMNI CHORD

[HereToFav]

I want what ever that thing is lol.

[syborius]

[10cwf]

Jim James sings like dry turkey on thanksgiving...for some reason he got to sing to the president and it was fucking terrible. WTF

[mimosarout]

[cryinoutloud]

@exodo111 stfu! this is way better than the majority of what everybody else is listening to! this is ACTUAL MUSIC...with people who have ACTUAL TALENT.

[jpcolts]

WOW...great sound

[neckfacesupra]

ever since i've seen this i've wanted an omnichord. it's probably cuz he's in a cab so his voice is really shaky at the beginning... but it's hilarious.

[maclennan73]

I tried singing this in the back of a cab on my way home one night..........he told me to get out!

[lps81682live]

@maclennan73 lol

[xbr00talxc0rex]

I want that instrument so bad.

[TomArnell]

Awesome is a word too lightly used. Should be saved for tracks like this.

[HockeyHavo]

My head almost exploded the first time I saw this...then I watched it like 30 more times...and I still get goosebumps.

[justaguppyfish]

i love his cape :)

[gnarltarl1]

[CavvyStudios]

[rowdywanker]

Cool to hear the breakdown of the song.

[alwrz4]

His voice has natural reverb

[songdiver]

@alwrz4

Yeah, even in the back of a car without fancy studio effects or expensive microphones, his voice still sounds about the same as in concert or on the albums. Awesome. 

[WVUIra]

Damn...Yim Yames makes me melt!

[johanagel]
