My Morning Jacket Locks In Publishing Deal with Peermusic

My Morning Jacket just inked a publishing agreement with Peermusic, extending what's already a 20-plus-year relationship between the band and the label's U.S./Canada president Jamie Cerreta. That's the kind of long-haul partnership that doesn't happen by accident—it means both sides still see value in keeping the lights on together.

For a band that's been operating on their own terms since the '90s, staying loyal to the same publishing home for this long speaks volumes. It's not about chasing the highest bidder; it's about working with people who actually get what you're trying to do. MMJ has built a massive catalog over the years, and having someone like Cerreta stewarding that matters.

This move keeps Jim James and crew's business locked down while they focus on making music. In an era where artists are constantly getting poached or restructuring deals, continuity like this is underrated. It's boring to most people, but for a working band with real longevity, it's the foundation that lets everything else happen.
