Contrary to the title of his band's new album, My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James has some pretty decent urges, too. One of those urges is to play a show benefiting Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and that's just what he'll do on October 8.

That night, at Schubas Tavern in Chicago, James will play an all-acoustic set for anyone willing to pay $100 per ticket. Preceding James' performance will be a reception with Obama campaign chief of staff Jim Messina.
