Are they any good? They keep popping up on my recommended bands feed - I've been recently listening to Wilco, Son Volt, The Jawhawks, Whiskeytown, and sine Ryan Adams -- if that helps.

If so, where should I start with exploring the music?

They're really good. Probably better live, as a lot of their studio stuff can be a little sleepy, but their musicianship really comes through in the live show. The song "Michigan" is probably one of their most popular.

This is one of my favorite MCK clips. They play their classic "Snake Eyes" in rehearsals for the Showtime documentary Another Day, Another Time. Needless to say, those in the room, including T Bone Burnett, Marcus Mumford and Chris Thile are completely blown away by them.

This. I can't listen to their albums without getting bored but they put on a good live show.

I like them in theory but don't really listen to them. A little too somber/whiny (sorry, not sure how else to describe it) for my normal listening tastes. Not as bad as Iron and Wine or something like that, though.

Oh man... Iron and Wine. He played roots fest last year (or was it two years ago?), and it was a snooze fest. I've actually seen his regular show before, and it wasn't nearly that sleepy, but I guess he took the Roots Fest moniker as an excuse to really mellow things out.

The younger crowd was leaving in droves and heading off to other shows around town. Never seen people desert the headliner like that at Roots.
