"Salt Lake Tribune""Review Quotes: REVIEWS FROM THE TOUR: The evening was in all ways wonderful. "Salt Lake Tribune""Publisher Marketing: In the summer of 2010, Garrison Keillor, Nickel Creek s Sara Watkins, the Guy s All-Star Shoe Band, and sound-effects artist Fred Newman went on a whirlwind tour of 25 cities in less than two months. The theme was everlasting love; the shows were jam-packed with tender duets and ballads, poetry, and stories of passion and marriage, all done "Prairie Home Companion-"style. Now the best performances from that tour are available on this "Summer Love" collection. Never broadcast and therefore available for the first time on this collection, selections include favorite "Prairie Home Companion" elements: Guy Noir, show sponsor commercials, and the News from Lake Wobegon."
