About

The Handsome Family

Label: Carrot Top
The Handsome Family were honored to be named #1 Americana CD for the year 2000 by Mojo as well as being remembered in many year-end top ten lists including Now (Toronto), The LA Weekly, The Austin Statesman and Spin's annual "Best Ten Records You Didn't Hear This Year." The third Handsome Family CD, "Through the Trees" brought the band worldwide attention (i.e. they quit their day jobs). Touring took them through the USA both alone and with the Mekons, as well as to the United Kingdom (almost every other month) along with sidetrips to Holland, Norway, and Belgium. England's Uncut magazine named "Through the Trees" the "Best New Country Album of the Year" and Chicago Sun-Times music writer Jim DeRogatis placed it as one of the ten most important albums to ever come out of Chicago.
