Spleen that is great! You are the first I have heard mention the Handsome Family. I have to admit I was shocked when I read it. Right on!!! I have played gigs with Jay Farrar. Tupelo was a huge influence on me yrs ago and I still love them, Son Volt, and Wilco. The others you listed are great as well but it really caught me off guard you mentioning the Handsome Family.
