“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 can see in his face when he plays, that in his soul he has found his bliss
Harry Bliss?
Spot on Firey Flower. That’s his true self shining through.
@@taydrabrookshire347 had no idea about Steve Martin comic strip until this comment. thanks :)
He played before his acting.
@@johnotto214 didn't know that. Cool
Music, movies, comedy, Steve is a true master of the arts.
I'd say he keeps pretty busy
Mr Martin I've liked you in so much, & I knew you were a great Bango player. I'm just sorry it was so long to hear you!!!
Fr
@AHDHDJDND Dndndn Steve would appreciate this! ;)
How does this not have millions of views rn 🤷🏾♂️🤔
Right?
I’ll never get tired of Steve Martin playing the banjo. 🙌🏻
Or Weird Al on the accordion!😊
Steve's a great guy. He came to the Port of Jubail in Saudi Arabia in 91 (pretty sure it was 91) to visit us troops, I'll never forget how gracious he was. I still have the picture too. Glad to see he's still pickin', he's talented and passionate banjo player. Grammy for Steve and the SCRs!
Thank you for your Service and Sacrifice.
I concur with your sentiment 100%
Australia Oktober 2022.
Steve Martin is probably very grateful that he gets the opportunity to play together with musicians of this caliber. Looking back, getting up on stage with a banjo and an arrow on your head was a great career move! He is amazingly talented.
Steve is one of the best bajo artists around. He is on equal talent with any picker.
Steve can hold his own in any setting with the banjo, and his comedy. He is well recognized in Bluegrass circles.
I was in the dorm room across the hall from mike at Brevard College when he was practicing mandolin sophomore year. As a banjo player myself I can say their were guys I knew that could have been in the band. Ste r Martin is obviously good, but greatness is collaborated
Probably as a science type who's supported international musos on more than one tour, you're grateful right up to the point you realise that they are not all that much better than you. The world is FULL of people who could play with Steve, and even challenge him lick for lick (who wouldn't want to see that). This takes nothing from him. I have a 5 string banjo and if he's the best, I'm the worst. I can play it a little which I think makes me worse than someone who can't play it at all.
He's freaking amazing.
If you had told me 20 years ago that the bango was more than just a prop for Mr. Martin's comedy act, I'd have not believed it.
I've seen him with the Steep Canyon Rangers twice and the man can play!
Hope they all keep coming back to Merlefest.
It’s cool that a lot of the rich actors put extra time into musical talents and do things like play in bands for fun. Probably finding a good purpose for themselves.
Oh my gosh another reason to be a Steve Martin fan. I LOVE IT!
Again, amazing. PLEASE DO NOT retire form music. I am no one, asking.
If I’ve said this before, sorry to repeat myself but...... this is my new favorite song 🥰
Come listen again. 6/17/22.😎🇺🇸
Me too
I love that Steve can be such a talented musician and still be such a goofball at the same time.
Heard this on Netflix special. Finally found the song. Went through many of his albums to find it. Just about every song was great!
Same! It just mesmerized me in the special! I went right to google and randomly picked a video and bingo! The right song.
So beautiful...wistful...
good stuff. Yes Mr. Martin you really can do it all, and well.
Just amazing.
@@bethe192 😊
What Netflix special?
I love it when a comedian takes at least one thing seriously and Stevie you play that mean banjo baby
You have great movies, you play great music, you have an excellent jacket. Thank you Steve Martin.
and a dog named Shithead
and a condo made of stone-ah
Love this, sounds like mountains and valleys and rivers
Sabeda
Steve was born in Waco, Texas on the Brazos river. He does have some country roots.
Sabeda Like on my channel 😎
Sounds more like mountains and ocean (Atlantic ), being from N.C., I truly hope he and The Steep Canyon Rangers and Edie Brickell have many more wonderful years together, and many more albums!
@@fairterr yeah I can see that
@@sabeda1647 ...and if we can get rid of the COVID-19,, maybe they will tour some more and come to Memphis....keeping my fingers crossed for both things
Best song on the new album in my opinion. Steve was my biggest inspiration to pick up a banjo 4 years ago, so thank you Steve! I love your music and always will!
“I always have and I always will.”
Duelling Banjos got me interested but Steve kept me interested.
Love this music so much. In the crazy times…this traditional music grounds me and soothes my soul
Hello Lori, I hope my comment wasn't taken as a form of invasion of your comments privacy. I'm here to make friends, how are you? Where are you from?
It doesn’t matter what he’s doing, he always makes me smile! “These cans are defective!”
“He hates these cans!”
thank you, Chris Griffin. I didn't know I wanted to see Steve play banjo. LOVE IT!
the man is a multi-faceted genius! A babe, too.
Someone should make a 10 hour mashup of this song so I can play it all day long
This was honestly so awesome, thank you for sharing and thank you Allison for being awesome too!
Holy cow, this is EPIC. The riff, the composition, the solos, omg, everything's just as it should be. Truly amazing performance!
I have loved Steve Martin forever, and listening to this song makes me smile and tear up just a little! Thank You! Life is GOOD!
If this doesn’t get you toes tapping,
your not alive.
Amazing.
I live in Cornwall, UK. Driving through the country roads listening to this music elicits the same feeling gs as when I was walking g through Savannah, GA 3 weeks ago with this on my headphones. Life is good is how I felt!
Wow. I could listen to this all day.

Love this music, has a nicer flavor than most other bluegrass.
I watched a few of his movies, a long time ago, and realized that he really was crazy. That is, until I saw him play and sing. I learned that he is seriously talented, and a very astute musician. I learned that years ago, too. Thanks Steve for all the great entertainment.
Pure Music, Pure Soul, Pure Love
Man Steve, if anyone ever says you aren’t like fine wine they aren’t in their right mind. I remember watching you frequent on the muppet show way back when and I can say I’m really glad to see you’re still plucking that banjo lol
Yesssss! Steve is awesome! To be honest, I never knew he plays an instrument and he's seriously good! Mr. Steve Martin, thank you for being you!
I love your Banjo playing Steve!

@@stevemartin410 I also think it would be fun to play the banjo, its a pretty cool instrument!
Man oh man how sweet the sound. Thank you Mr. Martin
So refreshing, reminded me of sun-showers after the harvest. Fantastic.
Lovely just lovely
Always loved you, Steve. Your talents are endless and amazing. I'm a fan for life...
A very great, multi-talented individual. Steve Martin is a rare entertainer in all aspects.
Steve Martin can jam out!!
If America had an equivalent of Knighthood, we would all be calling Steve Martin 'Sir Steven Martin.' Well done Sir. And well deserved. May you see your 100th Birthday and still surprising us with good humor.
This is great. Reminds me of Railroad Earth
Well done Steve.
Stay away from the cans!!!!!!
Wow,Steve you have skills brother and nice songs.God bless you brother.
Hi Steve. Im sure you won't see this but on the off chance you do, I want you to know that I love you, as a human being first, and an artist second, very very much. Thank you for everything.
I love the drive and energy of this piece of music - and in the midst of it all, the poignancy of the fiddle never gets lost. Thank you all!
I’m happy for you Steve to be enjoying this stage of your amazing life playing beautiful music. Bravo 👏
Brings peace to my soul great music
Just finished "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu and must say. You still got it sir!
Would buy a album of Steve playing solo. Can't find an unaccompanied version of Great Remember like I heard him play at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass a few years ago! Sometimes simplicity touches the soul.
It’s all about rhythm, getting clear sounds and having fun!
Yay Steve!! Thanks for making me smile & especially laugh!!
One wild and crazy guy! Great sound!
Great to see a celebrity championing old time music.
Great comedian. Great picker.
Pleaaaase come to Europe ❤️
As a lover of bluegrass/ fok music I thoroughly enjoy this. This is incredible for me. Love love love. ❤
Amazing music
Steve, not in the least trying to be obsequious. Every note brings a little bit more hope to a really confusing, difficult scary time. THANK YOU. Please keep playing. Soothes the soul. Down deep where it counts.
They were ALL Awesome. Hope in 2021 they will tour together. That would be great.
I did NOT see this coming. a friend turned me on to this and admittedly, i wasnt exactly a SM fan in the movies, but this blew my mind! WTG SM!! unreal talent!
This video just made me realize what I have been missing in my life. I have two kids and a partner that loves me but no music in my life! I miss playing music for people.
Amazing
Steve, I hope you wake up every morning with “happy feet”. What a great life!
After work , a cold beer , relax , and yes Steve Martin :-)

Nicky’s fiddle sounds so great! Love the call and response with Graham! Cute cardboard cutout of Mike G. Bittersweet seeing Charles - run, Forest, run. This is a lovely version of So Familiar, also love the version with Edie’s lyrics.
Great performance.
Such incredible talent all around
I still listen to "Get Small" from time to time. Its amazing that Steve is so multi-talented. Strangely, I think he is still underrated. Thanks for all the joy Steve, we all need it.
Ironic that Martin joked on "Get Small" that Jimmy Carter should be playing a banjo. Steve Martin for president!
Steve Martin is not underrated. No offense, but he's HIGHLY respected and regarded.
TheStockwell No offense taken but you seem to have mistaken my original intent. I was "Highly respectful" to Steve in my comments. Comedian, writer, actor, producer, director. Oh... and by the way, musician. Steve's a real under-achiever. He needs to let go of his inhibitions.
Steven Vicino Oh, then you're using irony - just like Steve Martin does! When they come up with an irony emoji, be sure to stock up. :)
@@stevenvicino8687 he recommended that Nixon play a banjo. Nixon was kind of a sad sack after resignation apparently.
this is by far my new favorite song !
Long life Mr Martin. God bless
I"m in love with this song... what energy and Steve's silliness adds to that appeal.
The talented and great Steve Martin
Thank you Steve & friends, beautiful music
You're an awesome dude, and thank you!!
I love that you continue to freely share your God given talents and humor with anyone and everyone! Blessings on you and yours Steve as well as the Steep Canyon Rangers.
I can still remember the first time I saw Steve Martin on television as a child. My Daddy stopped what he was doing to listen to his banjo pickin. " Now that takes talent. Keep your eye on that boy. " I'm sure now my Daddy is smiling down from Heaven. Cause that man can play. Thank you Mr. Martin for all the Joy you have brought our world over the years. I am sending love and hugs from Washington state, USA, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR.
GREAT
Steve Martin, one of the last greatests!
Gotta love Mr. Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. Style baby yeah!
I forgot to mention your music is AWESOME! American roots!!
This is so good, you may have outdone yourselves.
Steve Martin and Martin Short were playing poker at a casino and my friend was sitting at the table a couple seats down from them. Martin Short spilled his wine on the table and I guess Steve Martin was giving him shit about it. My friend said it took everything he had not to laugh his ass off because it was like being in a movie scene with them. Gotta love those guys.
I saw you in Toledo you are so talented Steve. I wish I Had 1/10 of your talent
i wish i had 9/1o
Hats off to you Mr.Martin and to the Canyon Rangers, I also advise anyone who is intrested in more to pick up a copy of "The Crow" by Steve Martin.
Excellent relaxing music.
Mr Martin masters whatever he tries.
Great song! 🎶
Hilarious and classy at the same time. I've watched this dozens of times. Thanks for the joy.
Wow. You're fabulous on the banjo. Seeing you play it encourages me to pull my old banjo out and take lessons again.
Met him at the newspaper office in Abilene Tx back in 1980 or so. Great guy. When I was in the USAF
I just love this song....and I hate the curtains hanging in the window.
You have me Steve. I can't get this tune outta my Head. I am heading over to Elderly's to get my Clawhammer 2, and starting my new life as a picker-plucker.
They Made Whole Song That One SM Riff Fantastic
This is such a sweet sounding song 💖
Steve Martin..... the reason I started playing banjo 40 years ago.
This man does not age.
Yup! He never grew up, thank goodness.
My how the turn tables
Here in 2021 and loving this...it makes my heart happy ❤
I hope my channel has such soothing power as well.
I don't know who should feel luckier, Steve for the Steep Canyon Rangers or the Steep Canyon Rangers for Steve. They're both megastars in their own right. The SCR were/are big names on their own for those unaware.
What a privilege, Thanks Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers!
I have been watching Steve Martin my entire life, his entire career and, I think he's finally doing what he was really meant to do!
