My Morning Jacket’s episode for the latest series of VH1’s Storytellers won’t air until the summer, but the band are offering up a sneak peek in the meantime: this clip of 2003 It Still Moves cut “Golden,” which includes Jim James discussing the tune’s origins after they bought their first touring van — affectionately dubbed Rosie — and were determined to “conquer the world.” The first part of “Golden,” he goes on, is about the “wide-eyed enthusiasm that you have as a young musician, out on the road and experiencing all this stuff and letting it all flash in.” Check it out above (via Rolling Stone).
