My Morning Jacket Releases 'Z' 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition With Unreleased Track

My Morning Jacket is commemorating the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed 2005 album Z with a deluxe reissue featuring remastered tracks, demos, outtakes, and previously unreleased songs. A notable addition is the premiere of the previously unheard track "The Devil's Peanut Butter," which Jim James recalls composing while in Sydney and Bondi Beach, Australia, though the title puzzled even the producer John Leckie. The deluxe edition, remastered by Grammy-winning engineer Emily Lazar, will be available digitally, on CD, and as a 3LP colored vinyl set starting October 3. Jim James reflected on the difficult period surrounding the original album's creation, dealing with depression and uncertainty about the band's future, but credited therapy and sobriety for his improved mental health today. The band also plans to celebrate the anniversary with special shows during their fall tour. This reissue and the new track shed light on the enduring impact and evolution of Z as a landmark album for My Morning Jacket.
