| | Steve Martin The Crow: New Songs For the 5-String Banjo CD Steve Martin Discography of CDs
The banjo has been a major player in Steve Martin's act since his earliest days of stand-up. Back in the era of wild 'n' crazy guys and arrows through heads, the comedian's bluegrass breakdowns seemed just another puzzle piece to his absurdist shtick. However, four decades into a career of comedy, movies, novels, and memoirs, Martin proves his banjo love no passing fancy on his dead-serious 2009 musical debut, THE CROW. It's a somber yet fun affair that ranges from rollicking instrumentals like "Hoedown at Alice's" and "Tin Roof" (on which he is joined by fellow comedian-musician Eugene Levy) to the rich country balladry of "Pretty Flowers" (featuring Dolly Parton & Vince Gill in gentle duet). The only time Martin regresses to silliness comes on "Late for School," a dizzying, sweet, and downright hilarious narrative of a dash to beat the opening bell told from the frantic schoolboy's perspective.
Personnel: Steve Martin (banjo).
Audio Mixer: Nick Sevilla.

Renowned for their manic live shows, they have long been wowing crowds in support of their critically acclaimed albums. With cult status already assured, the band will continue to gig across this and other lands prove to the gig-going public that Heavy Metal is alive and well.
