Crow: New Songs for the Five String Banjo Review
Here we have an album of banjo music by Steve Martin. Some may think that this is his first music album, but The Steve Martin Brothers was half bluegrass music. In fact, five of the songs from this album originally appeared on that album (in different versions). Martin wrote or co-wrote all the songs here, with the exception of one medley of traditional songs. He plays the banjo really well, although he himself would never admit it. The songs are very good, and Steve is ably assited by his professional musician friends. A very entertaining album.
Crow: New Songs for the Five String Banjo Overview
Comedian, actor, author, and banjo player Steve Martin releases his first musical recording since 1978's number 1 hit "King Tut." This is no novelty record though. It's some of the best banjo music to come down the pike in a long time. The Crow features able assistance from some of Steve's pals, including Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Earl Scruggs, Bela Fleck, Tim O'Brien and Mary Black. Martin wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on this album, creating a new body of work that will stand alongside the classics for years to come.
