Next week, My Morning Jacket will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, The Tennessee Fire, by releasing a deluxe edition of the effort, and today the band shares a previously unreleased track from the collection, “John Dyes Her Hair Red,” a lo-fi snippet from the early stages of the group.

“This is one of the first song poems i ever wrote,” says MMJ frontman Jim James in a press release. “I always liked the idea of a song being this little picture or puzzle, and not necessarily having to ‘mean’ something or be about some big story or have tons of linear lyrics, but more just painting a weird little scene. I have always tried to make my music gender neutral when it comes to love or romance for the most part, so that a person of any gender could experience a song and not feel excluded if I was using ‘he’s’ or ‘she’s’ or whatever and this is an early experiment with that, of a person named John, which is traditionally a ‘male’ name, who is dying her hair red and sitting in the shower til it all turns back brown—and maybe one would think—’well why did she ever even dye her hair red in the first place?'”

The Tennessee Fire: Deluxe Edition will be released Aug. 2 via Darla Records. My Morning Jacket will continue the 20th anniversary celebration of their debut with a full-album performance of the effort at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, Aug. 9, followed by a return to Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium Aug. 10. The band will also play two nights at Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre Aug. 2 and 3.
