Julian Taylor and My Morning Jacket’s Jim James Unite on New Single ‘Don’t Let ’Em (Get Inside of Your Head)’
Fresh off a string of acclaimed releases, 5x JUNO-Award and Polaris Music Prize–nominated artist Julian Taylor returns with ‘Don’t Let ’Em (Get Inside of Your Head)‘, a soulful new single that brings together alt-country grit and blues rock urgency with one of modern music’s most distinctive voices: Jim James of My Morning Jacket.
The new track will appear on Taylor’s forthcoming album, Anthology II, which is set for release on January 23, 2026.
Recorded at Gold Standard alongside Aaron Goldstein, David Engle, Tony Rabalo and Anna Ruddick, the track carries both raw spontaneity and emotional weight. What began years ago as an electronic-leaning demo that Taylor and Engle wrote for film/TV sync has evolved into a fully organic, groove-driven anthem that feels as natural as it is powerful.
“This song came together in such a special, innovative, and exciting way,” Taylor recalls. “It just seemed to flow out of everyone in the room.”
The connection with James came about in true serendipitous fashion. A chance encounter at the LA Forum, where Taylor was performing at the Robbie Robertson Tribute (directed by Martin Scorsese) at the invitation of longtime friend Allison Russell, sparked a friendship between the two artists. Years later, Taylor decided to send James the track.
“When this song was almost done, I thought to send it to Jim and see what he thought of it. He loved it, so I asked if he’d be down to sing on it, and he said yes,” Taylor shares. “I love how our voices blend together – it’s effortless and natural. Jim brings a tender urgency to the track, and it’s an honour and real gift to have him singing on it. He’s a true gem of a human and one of the world’s great unique talents.”
With its smoky, rootsy textures and emotionally charged delivery, ‘Don’t Let ’Em (Get Inside of Your Head)’ captures both the immediacy of live performance and the timeless resonance of classic songwriting. It’s a testament to Taylor’s gift for bridging genres and generations while staying true to his own distinctive voice.
