“The Long-Awaited Album,” Steve Martin’s long-awaited new album with the North Carolina group the Steep Canyon Rangers, is full of stories that mix humor and melancholy, whimsy and realism, rich characters and concrete details. And lots of banjos. That instrument-so dexterously, even acrobatically picked and strummed-proves just as crucial to relating these tales as the lyrics themselves, each chord and riff revealing depths to Martin’s narrators and to his musical talent. In the eight years since The Crow introduced him as an idiosyncratic bluegrass musician, as fluid in his technique as he is knowledgeable of its history, Martin has worked to refine his craft and push the form forward. Following 2011’s Rare Bird Alert, his first album to feature the Rangers, he recorded a pair of records with Edie Brickell, which earned the duo a Grammy for Best American Roots Songs for “Love Has Come for You.” In 2016, Bright Star, a musical based on the duo’s songs, debuted on Broadway and earned five Tony nominations.
Rather than a departure, Martin’s musical career is an extension of the storytelling impulse that drove his work as a comedian, an actor, a screenwriter, a playwright, an essayist, and a novelist. “I think those influences come into play in these songs, because when I’m writing lyrics, I’m always thinking, What happens next? Where does the story go from here?” Bluegrass music is, among many other things, a means to spin yarns, to tell tales, to ponder the felicities of the heart.
“The Long-Awaited Album” is full of love songs. Some, like the boisterous “Caroline,” are humorous; others, like “All Night Long,” are heavy with a gentle sadness. “There’s nothing richer than talking about romance and heartache,” Martin says. “It’s something everyone can identify with. I love to hear stories about people breaking up-why and how it happened, who said what. I’m fascinated by those stories, but most of these are very optimistic love songs.” Even the instrumental numbers on “The Long-Awaited Album” have the thrust of a narrative arc. “Bluegrass instrumentals conjure a place, especially the banjo,” Martin says. “The banjo especially is evocative of hills and dells and trees and joy.” That’s true of “Angelina the Barista,” a spry banjo ramble whose three-finger riffs conjure a well-trod dance floor somewhere in rural America-with just the slightest whiff of espresso in the air.
These songs have been percolating in Martin’s head for most of the 2010s, finding outlets at sound checks and live shows and band rehearsals. They began recording them piecemeal-no deadlines, no pressure-in cities around the country: Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, and Asheville, North Carolina, which the Rangers call home. At the helm was legendary producer Peter Asher, who has worked on classic albums by Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Neil Diamond, and many others; he also who produced Martin’s two albums with Brickell.“ The sessions went very quickly, because I’d say eighty percent of the tunes we had played onstage a lot,” says Martin. “We got to rehearse them while touring, so we worked pretty quickly in the studio. Because we knew the songs really well, we also knew how to change them up.”
“Steve Martin has done a lot for bluegrass music,” says Platt, “just in the sheer volume of people he’s played the banjo for or talked about bluegrass with, whether it’s on late-night TV or at show with 5,000 people. He’s been an amazing ambassador for the banjo and for bluegrass music, and we’re all grateful for that.”
With “The Long-Awaited Album” Martin continues to nudge the boundaries of the banjo, respectfully but irreverently, which has established him as one of the most popular-and, in fact, among the finest-roots musicians working today. Yet, he remains a humble student of the instrument, still learning new techniques and considering new tricks. “My taste has grown to more melodic and simpler, so that I can accommodate being twenty years behind people like Béla Fleck and Noam Pikelny. I’ve written almost one hundred songs now, and I can’t believe I get to work with this great band that helps me work them out, orchestrate them, and add so much interest to them.”

You know its great music when you are left thinking " this is way to short" as it ends.
that's why I bought the CD....can play it as much as I want
Yup. A couple more verses and more instrumental bridging for the album/live versions... definitely!
I'm thinking it's about an hour or two, too short...
Bleeds together nicely on repeat though and doesn't get the least bit annoying
Absolutely!!!, Check out the CD : Steep Canyon Rangers Live, it's a DVD and CD
2 and a half minutes of Heaven...one of the best songs of 2017 in ANY genre!
Simply one of the best songs of all time.
Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers are as Wonderful as ever, and keep up the Fantastic work what you do and thank you for a Wonderful gift Semper Fidelis!
I really, really, really admire your group for being able to harmonize all 7 of those instruments!! And the melody, is kind of oddly native!
what?! why is this not the most popular shit happening right now?! I am in LOVE!!
Phillip Belon You should think of more dignified things to call things you love...
“Will you still be here with me when we sail again?” 🥰
Every famous group has their one signature song, I think this it the one for them. I never heard of them before but I went to see Steve Martin in Milwaukee on May 12th. They played four songs and made a fan out of me.
Amazing song. Have heard it again and again.
*LYRICS:*
With the stars to guide us under full moon light
The wind behind us as we sail tonight
We will hold our faces tilted towards the sky
Arms in warm embraces
Celebrate this night
(Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, ayo
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, ayo
Oh, oh, oh, ee, aye)
On the water we are not the same
Time away with friends is time reclaimed
Following the tides and carried by the wind
Lying here beside me with the salt upon your skin
(Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, ayo
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, aye)
With the lights of harbor we come sailing in
Will you still be here with me when we sail again
(Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, ayo
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, ayo
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, oh, ee, aye
Oh, oh, oh, ee, aye)
* Time away with friends is time reclaimed (I think)
@@MrChump82 I think so too.
I saw Martin's stand-up live in '77 or '78 in Lansing, Mi. I've loved everything he has done outside of his movies, which were aimed at a different demographic.
Even the guy's toe jam has talent!
I love this song so much that I just bought the 1st of what I know will be many Steeps cds.
Absolutely love it.
Playing this song over and over for my twins in my belly. At this rate they're gonna come out knowing how to play the banjo.
Oh my goodness! That's so sweet! Your kiddos are going to have a very happy life!
My deepest sympathies they didn’t come out as lively as you hoped because I pumped too hard 🤤
There are worse things🎻
...is that possible....
@@michaelmuir5293 You couldn’t convince Shakespeare microwaves would be a thing, so...
Thank you for this song! I'm listening again and again and again ...
I adore this song and everything about it. When I close my eyes this song puts me in the middle of the most perfect summer at the beach surrounded by warmth, love, and joy. What a perfect song.
As does my video Deep Blue Sea Needs It’s Devil but I’m still not Steve Martin
My new favorite song! Bravo!!

LOVE It! My grandson, plays all those instruments! Will send this to him.
What a soothing song...
Such a fantastic track, and the lead riff on banjo is so catchy. Songs like this are the reason I picked picked up the banjo. So good!
Bought this song on itunes the first day it was out! Spectacular!
Can listen to this song on repeat forever
Well done, gentlemen!
Beautiful !!
Hi Mr Steve congratulations, im whatchin the big year right now, 🖐 from Albania
I recently downloaded this album into my iTunes but I just heard this song on my walk this morning. It brought back feelings of all the excitement of my teenage years when I would buy an album anticipating each song and loving each one! I love the freshness and nostalgia of this song wrapped into one! I only wish I had found it sooner! Thank you for the spirit and energy you have put into this creation!
I uploaded Hot Cross Buns on my guitar but I’m on my way...
Not gonna lie, when this was suggested for a playlist I have I was like "cool, definitely adding that" and then I saw the album art and was like "wait excuse me is that...nuh uh..."
So beautiful 🎶 music
I wish Steve and the SCR could get together with James Taylor and do and album, all the great NC music we in NC are so lucky to have!! Best of everythibg
My daddy's side is from speedwell Tennessee pure country n very famous in those parts of the woods n has been over a 150 years Steve is my favorite comedian n bluegrass banjo player I never knew he's from Waco Texas I always called it whacko lol
I can listen to this song over over it is catchy and upbeat and I love it
STEVE MARTIN....SIMPATICISSIMO E BRAVISSIMO IN TUTTO CIÒ CHE FA' 🎬🎭🪕✍️🎞️🎶🇺🇸 Saluti da Roma 🇮🇹
Sooo good!
Dr. Steve Martin High, school' out, varsity campaigned against youth' out all night issues, and world politicians are stone!
LOVE this song! Make sure you listen on a system that has some bass to it.
Love that Steve is willing to take more of a back-seat role in this production while others shine. Says such good things about him compared to many more narcissistic celebs these days.
With a beat and melody that came to him in a dream. Great musicians know who should be playing or singing which role and they nailed it here. They are all top notch musicians and performers and we are all lucky to be able to enjoy it.
So damn good!!
While it is no cowbell, the box player steals the show.
Love the "wave" sound in the last verse.
Very very nice song❤️
So glad I discovered you guys, brings a few smiles into my life 😊👌✌️
Please DO NOT retire from music.
I love these guys!
Awesome! Thanks Destin and No Dumb Questions podcast for the song recommendation! Good stuff
Just beautifil

I love this song. Recently found some of their sounds.
I just discovered this song, and I love it! It's my new peaceful place.
I uploaded Midsummer Daydream but I’m still not Steve Martin.
@@corey-bird3489 You don't have to be Steve Martin. Be the very best you.
@@heathergibson2891 Aww shucks! 🥰 I already appreciate your Sally profile pic, being yourself has unparalleled power. Always Will is another amazing song. I got into his banjo playing when I got The Crow. I also am trying to learn guitar and uploaded Hot cross buns

Dang why is this so hard to find? This song reminds me of when country was country and not crap - *c* ountry + *rap*
Lamentablemente el banjo es un instrumento casi desconocido en Argentina.
0:46 She's thinking...That guy with the banjo is a jerk.
Dirk Stabins With a capital J. SM is soooo talented, I hope SCR goes on tour with him this year and visits Grand Rapids, Mi. I'd buy them all a beer.
You saw what I did there 😄
Dirk Stabins - Yes I did. Been a big fan of his most of my life. Even took up the Banja myself. The Jerk was pretty good. But I prefer SM, the Banja player....
He's a very talented and funny person, accomplished is so many ways.
lol... Grew up with him.. absolutely LOVE THIS SONG!!!
This song is so Moana
Kumbayah? Not feeling it with this song. Caroline is better and more fun.
