Summer Love

This best-of collection from the 25-city 2010 Summer Love Tour is jam-packed with tender duets and ballads, poetry, and stories of passion and marriage.

Never broadcast—and therefore available for the first time on this collection—are selections including favorite A Prairie Home Companion elements: Bebopareebop Rhubarb Pie, Catschup Advisory Board, Powdermilk Biscuits, Guy Noir, and the News from Lake Wobegon. Nickel Creek's Sara Watkins is on hand, as are sound-effects man Fred Newman and the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band.
