Description

This week on A Prairie Home Companion, we'll revisit two shows we did at thehistoric state theatrein Minneapolis.Wilco, the uber-cool Chicago-based alt-rock band was on to perform a few songs from their Grammyr-nominated albumSky Blue Sky. Texas troubadourCarrie Rodriguezwas with us, Bluegrass songstressBecky Schlegelsang "Heartaches by the Number", andCowboy Jack Clementsang an impromptu version of "Old Fashioned Drunk" that lingers in our collective memory like a Bourbon hangover. Also in the singing Cowboy genre, Lefty yodels about Keats and the blooms of spring in the Lives of the Cowboys. Plus, a lesson on wood ticks that can only be learned from an early summer visit to Lake Wobegon. So take the transistor radio with you out into the backyard this Saturday, plant those heirloom tomatoes, and enjoy a freshly cut springtime redux of two shows, with The Royal Academy of Radio Actors:Tim Russell, Sue Scott, and Tom Keith, The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band, and The News from Lake Wobegon.
