The Handsome Family
By Jon H. Jones • Apr 29th, 2008 • Category: Music for the Genteel SavageThree tracks by The Handsome Family:
“After We Shot the Grizzly” and “If The World Should End In Ice”, both their own, and a cover of The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby”, performed with The Rivet Gang.
Do yourself a favor and pay attention to the lyrics.
Jon H. Jones is braver than anybody thought, it would seem, especially himself: with no money and no job and no plans, he packed a suitcase and took a bus across the country. Las Vegas is more than he could have hoped for, and he plans to get under its skin and make it his home.
He's one of those creative sorts, you know, a writer and photographer and so on, and he likes to live his life the same way--get struck by inspiration and have faith that if he keeps working at it, something amazing will happen. So far it always has. Life's funny that way.
