Definitely Above Average: A Collection of Songs and Stories
After the birth of Garrison Keillor's daughter, the stories, songs, and sketches on A Prairie Home Companion® took on a distinctly parental bent.
This new collection gathers the warmest, funniest, most affectionate examples: dance tunes and comedy with sound effects; songs featuring Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, Beausoleil, and other guests; Ian Frazier's much-requested "Lamentations of the Father"; and Garrison's version of "The Princess and the Pea."
Garrison says, "I test-played this album for my daughter, who is three, and she jumped around a lot." About 2-1/2 hours.
