047: The Handsome Family - Singing Bones (2003)

Far from any road, husband-and-wife duo The Handsome Family create beautiful indie folk/country that uses centuries-old musical traditions as a vehicle to explore, mourn, embrace, or giggle at human nature (and folly) from a perspective all their own. On this episode, Will enlists Amanda, Dan, and Rich to discuss the Handsome Family's sixth and oddest album, Singing Bones. Join us as we examine the way these songs shimmer and simmer, and attempt to determine if that's a result of heat rising from the boiling Albuquerque terrain or because we're listening through the murk of disconsolate ghosts.

WARNING: We said some bad words in this episode, in case that is something you are concerned about.

Cohosts: Chris Willie Williams, Rich Bunnell, Amanda Rodgers, Dan Watkins
