Jim James of My Morning Jacket performs during the 2025 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival at Fair Grounds Race Course on May 04, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana Astrida Valigorsky/Getty Images Jim James has spent the past few years working through decades of memories and experiences in therapy. The My Morning Jacket frontman’s breakthroughs inspired him to write a book, One Wonders, out April 13, 2027.
“Perhaps if I illustrated my journey, and how I began to deal with my own struggles with mental health, it could help people take a step toward getting out of their own darkness and depression,” James said in a statement about the origin on the project.
One Wonders will be released in all formats via Simon & Schuster and comes in at 336 pages. James will narrate the audiobook recording.
The memoir will span the musician’s life and career as he reflects “on finding my voice — both as a singer, songwriter and musician, and as a person wandering the earth wondering… what do I really want to SAY with my life overall?”
Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, the singer-songwriter formed My Morning Jacket in 1998. The band has released nine studio albums together, while James’ solo discography spans five albums.
