Customer Reviews

cats are us
This recording is just sheer joy. It is very clever and full of gentle humour. It has some amusing observations about cat behaviour and should be enjoyed by all and sundry, including non-cat lovers. It sits with my classical collection.

Keillor is a pessimist
G. Keillor has once again proven, in the style of his 'Book of Guys', that American pessimism is alive and well. I liked some of the songs, but too many were inherently sad. I hate sentimental portrayals of cats, but more texts inspired by admiration for cats would have been welcome.
