Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.

The Deluxe Limited Edition package includes three bonus tracks plus the amazing and just as advertised performing crow!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad song on here!, July 6, 2009

By	Tom Reagan (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I'm only a casual fan of bluegrass and folk music, but I love this album, from beginning to end. Not a single bad song on there.

Martin doesn't sing on any, but provides vocal on one song in his comedic style, which is a pretty funny and "cute" song, if you will.

The deluxe version is worth it for the instrumental versions of two of the songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, July 30, 2009

By	Steven Carl Martin (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've nearly worn out this CD. The melodies are the type that you end up whistling or humming hours after you hear them. I've been following Steve Martin's career since he was a writer on the Smother's Brothers Show. Since we share the same name I got a kick out of seeing my name in the credits. I've seen his banjo playing and knew he was quite serious about his music. He has brought together some quality talent
and created music that is fresh, fun, and completely satisfying. I can't wait for his next one.

This is a great album! Every song on here os excellent! My favorite song is Pretty Flowers. Dolly Parton and Vince Gill did a great job with this song. If you like the banjo or Bluegrass music then you will love this cd!
