"Steam Engine" is a Jim James song through and through: he wrote it and produced it, with Danny Kadar engineering, for It Still Moves, My Morning Jacket's third studio album, from 2003. That record was a turning point for the band's lineup, the first with Patrick Hallahan on drums and the last with guitarist Johnny Quaid and keyboardist Danny Cash, and it's often counted alongside Z as the band's finest hour. Its cover features one of the huge stuffed bears the band always parks on stage at its concerts.
