Fans of A Prairie Home Companion know him as Garrison Keillor's grumbling sidekick Dusty "The Lives of the Cowboys," an array of wise-cracking wise-guys from the mean streets of "Guy Noir, Private Eye," or Jim, the beleaguered husband from A Prairie Home Companion's famously catchup-deprived midlife couple. One minute he's George Bush or Julia Child, Barack Obama or Arnold Schwarzenegger. So here's the fearless Tim Russell in 19 hilarious performances from A Prairie Home Companion, embracing every hairpin turn, crazy curve, or unexpected plot twist a live radio show heard by millions each week can possibly throw at the man of a thousand voices.

      Since 1994, Tim Russell has been the "Prairie Home Companion" go-to guy when Garrison Keillor calls for an extra mobster, a stumbling Swede, a crusty cowboy, or a dead-on impression of Fred Rogers, Ronald Reagan, or Jimmy Stewart (just to mention a few). Born and raised in the Twin Cities, Russell has a comically elastic voice that delivers the radio show's smart, gentle satire of all things Midwestern. Chosen from the past 19 years of live performances, this "best-of" collection plays like a vintage comedy album, with plenty of 2-4 minute bits showing off Russell's voice talents and quick wit. Examples include the wonderful Guy Noir skits, numerous commercial satires, and listeners' odds-on favorite, the Ketchup Advisory Board. B.P. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
