A Prairie Home Companion [New Line] (CD - 2006)

The soundtrack album to Robert Altman's 2006 movie centered around Garrison Keillor's popular public radio show is packed with all the homey, yet slightly twisted content of Keillor's original production--but augmenting the show's regular characters, we have hot Hollywood talent like Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Lindsay Lohan, and Woody Harrelson performing songs like the sentimental "My Minnesota Home," the cowboy anthem "Whoop-I-Ti-Yi-Yo," and the blues classic "Frankie and Johnny." Streep and Tomlin acquit themselves particularly well, but understandably it's real-life regulars like Tim Russell, Robin and Linda Williams, and Keillor himself who steal the show. minimize
