I've got to say, I had heard of The Handsome Family but hadn't sampled any of their music before I stumbled upon this recording.
What can I say? Strange, sad, funny and a downright pleasant soundtrack for a lazy afternoon. The recording is solid, and an excellent set list. Looks like they'll be in Chicago maybe around July with Curt Kirkwood of Meat Puppets fame. Sounds like an enjoyable show, I think I'll go.
Anyway, if you're already a fan, this is an excellent quality recording... if you're like me, and hadn't really heard the Handsome Family before, take this as one of those random opportunities that we sometimes mistake for fate and give these guys a chance. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
One complaint, the description says this is two discs if you download it; which is true, but the show is only just long enought to fill one disc completely and you end up with just one track on disc two. If you're worried about wasting disc space, cut out the intro and the banter and maybe sacrifice one 4 minute song and you'll be fine.

Subject: a great soundboard
Dear musical traveler, you've stumbled onto something wonderful but beware. The Handsome Family plays post-modern Americana. Imagine a strange and dark strain of alt-country. With strong female and male vocals, the music is song oriented. The quirky and gothic sound features a mellow mix of acoustic & electric guitars, sometimes punctuated by weird keyboards. The Handsome Family's tunes are satisfying to the ears yet disturbing to contemplate. Imagine a cross between the Munsters and the Beverly Hillbillies. Occupying a space that exists well under the mainstream radar, they are phantoms that can only be noticed by those like yourself adventurous listeners with musical ESP.
I was ecstatic to discover the Archive's eleven Handsome Family shows but frustrated by the absence of any reviews. I've made it a project to download, listen to and review each for sound quality. Where should you start? Preferring soundboards over audience recordings, I recommend that you begin with the four excellent soundboard choices: 1) 11-24-01, 2) 11-25-01, 3) 5-8-02 and 4) 5-9-02. In terms of audience recordings, 1) 5-6-99 and 2) 5-15-04 sound as good as any audience recording. Thus this November 24th, 2001 show is one of those great soundboards and well worth downloading.
Disc 1 track 8 w/ Nora O'conner on vocals
Disc 2 tracks 2, 3, 4 , 5 , 8 w/ Andrew Bird on violin
