Postcards is an album by American musician Peter Ostroushko, released in 2006.
The songs on Postcards are culled from songs Ostroushko wrote for A Prairie Home Companion. With few exceptions, each piece is tied specifically to the location the show was visiting for that episode.
Ed Huyck of PopMatters wrote of the album "There is a certain familiarity to the songs, as if the tunes have been part of the American lexicon for decades. Ostroushko has studied hard through his career, and pulls together these different parts of traditional music—the ache of the blues and country, the stomp of traditional folk, the vibe of jazz—into a cohesive whole... Postcards does suffer from some of the usual instrumental album pitfalls. Though the musical styles are varied, the songs still tend to run into each other in the mind. If you want the album to be more than background music (and it really deserves that from the listener), it is best to listen to in small bursts."
