It's no secret that Dallas native Erykah Badu is a fixture at just about every respectable hip-hop show that rolls through town. I've seen her join in on performances by Outkast, Digable Planets, Common, the Roots, and others over the last 10 years or so. But if I would've known that Ms. Badu was going to show up at the Palladium last night to help out on My Morning Jacket's cover of her live fave "Tyrone," I totally would've actually gone. David was there, and he says Badu and the MMJs straight brought it. Check his photos, as well as a video & mp3 of the collab, below: badu + ...

But it wasn t a mere cover this time around, the band were actually joined by Erykah Badu on stage for a rousing take of the song. Badu s vocals on the song really remind you how quaint Jim James vocals are in comparison she s able to go from a super-high falsetto to a guttural soprano in a heartbeat. My Morning Jacket are in the midst of a lengthy U.S. tour that touches down in Austin on Wednesday. For full dates click here. [ I Am Ghost ...

Erykah Badu and My Morning Jacket?
Published 9/2/2008 by Stone at The Couch Sessions
I’ve never really been too keen on the indie band My Morning Jacket, but they’ve been going around to concerts covering Erykah Badu’s “Tyrone,” for their summer tours. Badu apparently got word of this, and decided to roll through one of their concerts in Dallas. It takes sheer balls for an R&B singer to show up at a rock concert (not saying that she has any balls of the sort), but from the video she basically threw down in the only way Badu could do. Rap/Rock collabos are nothing new, but this one ranks near the top and to keep it real, it comes off better and ...
