|  | Wonderful Story and Music |  |
I thought the story was very good. Meryl Streep can sing, but not as well as most of the other performers. It's unfortunate that really great music was faded out and overpowered by Ms. Streep's renditions. Maybe they should have casted a little less starpower that did not require over prominence in the film.

A Prairie Home Companion Delux set is one of my ways to escape the Rat Race and Hussel & Bussel of my everyday routine.It truly helps reflect on things that are so simple and most enjoyable,like good ole down home melodies, silly jokes that are not directed at anyone specific yet still make us laugh and most importantly givs us a break from what ails you....kinda like a good shot of your favorite whiskey.Robert Altman really knew what he was doing as he brought such a diverse cast together and made it work.E.G..Lindsay lohen and Meryl Streep,Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Kline?Who else could put apples and oranges together and still make it right.Enjoy....J.D.
May 19, 2008I rented the dvd recently, the cast sold me... then i heard the songs i mean its not the usual stuff they play today The lyrics were captivating i immediately wanted the soundtrack!! Jearlyn steeles' The day is short and Goodbye to my mama by meryl & Lily are my favourite two...the movie itself made me think of how much raw talent there must have been when live Radio shows were running, i suppose shows like the tonight show,ed sullivan etc took over its nice to be reminded how not so long ago this was Radio and it was first rate and impulsive.
December 30, 2007An insight into the making of what is involved in the production of a radio show with the selection of music, musicians, story telling, human integration. A good soundtrack, entertaining with variety, which is the spice of life - there should be more of it!
September 25, 2007I love the music to this movie. The band is superb and the instrumentals are great!! The words are upbeat and heartfelt. It brought back wonderful memories of growing up and thinking of all my family and relatives. I only wish I could find more CD's that the band plays together on.
