After releasing the politically charged solo album Eternally Even in 2016, My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James returns with Tribute To 2, a collection of cover songs that reverberate with fresh meaning. Blurring the boundaries of time and genre, James interprets songs made famous by a wide variety of artists – ranging from early 20th century standards by Ray Noble and Al Bowlly ("Midnight, the Stars and You," "Love is the Sweetest Thing") and 1960's songs by Willie Nelson and Sonny & Cher to Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 1970 breakthrough hit "Lucky Man" and 1990's releases by Abbey Lincoln and Diane Izzo.
