When I Get Home: Songs

When I Get Home: Songs Review

You’ve heard Garrison Keillor and the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band perform on the radio. Now you can enjoy their feel-good music on this collection.

A Prairie Home Companionlisteners are frequently treated to a song—sometimes to a familiar tune, sometimes to original music—with words by Garrison Keillor.

In them, he sings of home, love, friendship, family, faith, or just plain fun. These sixteen songs, specially recorded for this collection, are some of his best.

“I carry this solemn mug around in public to encourage strangers to mind their manners, but when I get home I am glad to make faces, quack like a duck, dance a little dance, and even sing a little. For many years now I have felt at home on the radio. These are some of the songs.”—Garrison Keillor
