Jim James Shares ‘The World Is Falling Down’ Official Visualizer Video

ATO Records will issue Tribute To 2, a new covers album recorded by My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James on December 8. A visualizer video for James’ cover of Abbey Lincoln’s “The World Is Falling Down” has been shared in advance of the solo album’s release.

The follow-up to James’ “Yim Yames” monikered 2009 EP of George Harrison covers Tribute To, the LP Tribute To 2 features songs written by The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Emerson Lake & Palmer and others. A reissue edition of Tribute To will be made available alongside the new collection of covers.

“Even though she [Lincoln] released this song in 1991 it felt so relevant to right now,” James revealed in a statement issued with the new video. “I think so many of us feel the world is falling apart right now – that the powers that be are trying to divide us and rip us apart … when I heard that song it just resonated deeply because there is such pain there but I feel she also is offering hope and realization that we need each other’s help in times of crisis.”

Here’s the video visualizer for “The World Is Falling Down”:
