Product Description
Lefty: Haven’t you read about the dangers of drinking?
Dusty: I have. And it led me to give up reading.
Like the News from Lake Wobegon and Guy Noir, Private Eye, The Lives of the Cowboys sketch has become a signature part of A Prairie Home Companion. Each week, radio listeners can’t wait to hear Lefty’s latest poem and Dusty’s latest rant.
In six complete sketches drawn from the radio show, the two pardners cope with hangovers and citrusy aftershave, try to get in the Christmas mood (not much luck there), meet a vampire, drive a herd of 10,000 free range chickens, tangle with a territorial poet named Big Messer, pay a visit to the New York Public Library, and wind up in the San Luis Obispo County Jail for mistaking a cocker spaniel for a coyote. Each is a glimpse into daily life in and mostly out of the saddle. Includes four songs.
Garrison Keillor stars as Lefty; Tim Russell as Dusty; with Sue Scott, Tom Keith, and Danielle De Vecchio, and Julie Boyd.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: My father enjoyed it! 2007-06-23
Comment: The reviews are mostly negative here. I just got this for my dad, and he says it's good *and* funny. He's an old-school listener though, so for newbies, the Dusty and Lefty you may have seen in Robert Altman's movie are not the Dusty and Lefty of the real radio show. If you're familiar with the radio show, and the 'Lives of Cowboys' skits, you'll more than likely enjoy this CD release. As a side note I'd highly recommend subscribing to Garrison's weekly monologue, 'The News From Lake Wobegon', if you have I-Tunes. It's a free weekly podcast, taken directly from the Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts. It's updated about mid-week, and well worth your effort if you can't catch the weekly radio show.

Summary: Not What I Expected 2007-01-09
Comment: I expected the CD to be the kind of banter Dusty and Lefty had in the movie they were recently featured in. However, if you are into this sort of thing I guess it's not bad.

Summary: I guess you have to be a garrison keiller fan? 2006-09-11
Comment: My wife thought we should try this since Garrison has been around for awhile and we were driving for a few hours. Well, it sure wasnt for us. We decided to gut our way through it since we paid good money for it but whew! YOu must have to be a die hard fan of his because there wasnt one laugh in the tracks we endured. Not for us.
