They performed for a fifth time at the Bonnaroo Music Festival 2008. They played an almost four hour long set starting at midnight on Friday; it featured guest appearances by Kirk Hammett of Metallica and comedian Zach Galifianakis, as well as the Nashville-Louisville horns. Thirty-five songs were performed during the marathon set, including many covers (e.g. Erykah Badu's "Tyrone", Kool and the Gang's "Get Down on It", Sly and the Family Stone's "Hot Fun in the Summertime", James Brown's "Cold Sweat", Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street", Funkadelic's "Hit It and Quit It", Velvet Underground's "Oh! Sweet Nuthin", and Mötley Crüe's "Home Sweet Home"), and all but two tracks of their latest album Evil Urges.

The band's 2008 album Evil Urges was nominated for a Grammy for Best Alternative Rock Album. Their most recent release, Celebración de la Ciudad Natal was released on Record Store Day, April 18, 2009. It is an eight song EP taken from two live recordings, notably the bands Summer 2008 Waterfront Park concert in their hometown of Louisville, KY. Noted Open Salon rock critic MJ Wycha called My Morning Jacket "the best thing to happen to rock music in years" in a May 14, 2009 article. The entire band appeared as themselves in the American Dad episode, "My Morning Straitjacket", which aired on November 22, 2009.
