Classical artists sometimes envy rock stars for their fame, perceived level of cool, large paychecks, and creative freedom. At the same time, there are a number of rock & rollers who are jealous of classical performers for their perceived level of intelligence, the greater respect for their accomplishments, and the rarefied atmosphere of their community (they get to play in beautiful old halls rather than drafty hockey arenas). This push and pull sometimes brings rock and classical artists together in something like a mutual admiration society, and this may or may not be what led Jim James, the leader of the group My Morning Jacket, and Teddy Abrams, a contemporary classical composer and the director of the Louisville Orchestra, to collaborate on a project. The Order of Nature is a nine-piece suite focusing on the balance of hatred and compassion in the natural world, including five new songs from Jim James, two from his back catalog, and a pair of covers ("The Human Touch" and "Who Am I"), while Abrams arranged the selections for the Louisville Orchestra and conducted the performance. The premiere performances of the song cycle were recorded, and Decca Gold's release of The Order of Nature documents its second live performance. Here, Abrams fills out the simple frameworks of James' songs with serialist patterns and sustained string and horn lines (and tosses a theremin into the mix during "Back to the End of the World" for good measure), while James' vocals hover over it all with no small bravado. Abrams' arrangements are often beautiful and evocative, but in some selections the feeling is a bit stiff, as James clearly meant for the songs to swing and that's something a full orchestra isn't meant to do. Although James sings with his usual level of skill, the rough edges of his performances make for an uncomfortable fit at times, especially when he's focusing on the political and environmental themes that are woven through the lyrics. (And his attempt to throw some rap-informed vocal rhythms into "Same Old Idea" was just not a good idea.) The Order of Nature is a good showcase for the individual talents of Jim James and Teddy Abrams, but somehow the two halves don't always make an ideal fit, though all parties concerned certainly deserve a tip of the hat for ambition and audacity.
