Garrison Keillor's best story compilation ever
 
Review Date: January 27, 2001
Reviewer: ,
This CD compilation 16 of the finest stories in the history of the famed, long-running radio show "A Prarie Home Companion". The stories come under four headings: "Faith", "Hope", "Love", and "Humor". Some of the best stories from this package include "Smokes", a brilliant story of a father's attempt at quitting smoking out of pure guilt. "Let us Pray" tells the story of Pastor Inquvist and the stir up he causes among his congregation. "A Trip to Grand Rapids" is about a weekend getaway gone horribly wrong. "Truckstop" is the painfully hilarious account of the events both before and after Florian Krebsbach accidentally leaves his wife Myrtle at a truckstop. "Homecoming" is the story of Karl Krebsbach and his nightmarish experience on the day of his daughter's High School homecoming. These and many other brilliant stories make an amazing array of the Lake Wobegon experience.
An excellent CD from Lake Wobegon

This CD had me laughing out loud especially the story "Homecoming" which involves the confrontation between the Lake Wobegon homecoming parade (headed by a tank - of course) and a truck with a different type of tank - a septic one. In terms of big comic set pieces, I don't think GK has bettered this one (not even the classic "Living Flag")
Thank goodness there's More News from Lake Wobegon!

These tapes are an absolute must for anyone who enjoys heartwarming, humorous stories. I've listened to them many times and have never tired of them. All the stories are memorable, but one in particular stands out in my mind. A young man overhears his father telling someone that his son is a "pretty good boy." The son thinks to himself that this was the closest his father ever came to saying, "I love you," and it was close enough for him.

Garrison Keillor's voice is very enchanting. He even sings a little on the tapes. For a fun, old-fashioned evening I suggest friends and family gather round with a plate of oatmeal cookies and a mug of hot chocolate and listen to More News from Lake Wobegon.

Funny and then soothing

I love to give these collections of monologues to folks who are experiencing a long recovery from surgery or undergoing medical treatment. The monologues are funny to listen to, and after they have listened to them a time or two, just hearing Garrison Keillor's soothing voice has a calming effect. The stories from Lake Wobegon are the best sleeping potions available--and there are no side effects other than falling asleep with a smile on your face.
Classic Keillor
