Hanson may have seem destined for obscurity in the years following 1997's mega-hit "MMMBop," but a funny thing happened when the young brothers finally got out of their major-label record deal: they got their career back as well.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac are all grown up now, with kids of their own. Hanson has been self-releasing its albums since 2003, crafting a more mature sound — and a more enduring, less fickle fan base — along the way. This year's soul-pop album "Shout It Out" is the latest in a strong run of releases for the trio.
