After the birth of Garrison Keillor's daughter, the stories, songs, and sketches on A Prairie Home Companion took on a distincly 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, Beaussoleil, 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."Filled with stories, skits, and songs recorded from live broadcasts, Definitely Above Average will delight parents and children everywhere.
