The band has received quite a collection of critical accolades since 2005, including:
*"Highway Run", from "Sundown Road" was featured in a nation-wide radio campaign in the summer of 2005.
*"This Town", from "Hymns and Curses From The Heartland", won the top Americana vote in a 2005 Nashville Songprize songwriting competition.
*"Saint In Tattered Clothes", also from "Hymns and Curses From the Heartland", was hand-picked for inclusion on Atlanta, Georgia's Shut Eye Records' "The United State of Americana, Vol. III" compilation album.
*"Downtown Vampires", from "State Of The Union", was picked by Chicago's WXRT Radio as one of the top songs of 2006.
Chicago's Medicine Hat combines roots-rock, jam-rock and Americana, with a gritty attitude emphasizing substance over style. Creating a sound sometimes reminiscent of classic era Black Crowes, Rolling Stones or Crazy Horse, while giving a nod and wink to more recent artists such as The Drive By Truckers and Son Volt, the members of Medicine Hat are slowly carving out their own niche, oblivious to trends or fads that fade away as soon as they appear. Despite delivering a decidedly ‘American’ sound (and often taking strong social and political stances), the band has none-the-less-sold albums in such far away locales as England, Germany, Spain, and Japan. To be sure, The Hat are best experienced live, as they continue to earn a reputation for their raucous, energetic performances in Chicago and throughout the Midwest.
With two albums under their belt between 2004 and 2006,
their third album, "State Of The Union", was their most cohesive and ambitious work to date, garnering fine reviews in Chicago print and radio. A record built around various statements concerning America in the 21st century, SOTU felt like a concept album minus the pretension that often accompanies such compositions. In July, 2008, the band released their fourth album, "Blood and Bone", which is sure to push the band's limits even further while solidifying their position in the Windy City music scene as a band hell-bent on doing things their own way.
