Tim Russell: Man of a Thousand Voices (A Prairie Home Companion)

Overview

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.
