Title: The Steve Martin Brothers for Banjo Players
Review: I've always loved and appreciated Steve's brand of humor and his old comedy stand-up routines. All that said, however, the comedy "side" of the CD is a bit tired and I would be hard-pressed to recommend this CD on its comedy merits alone. As a five-string, bluegrass-style banjo picker, however, I have to recommend this CD very highly. There's some really great banjo music contained here, and many arrangements are Steve originals (e.g., Hoedown At Alice's'; Pitkin County Turnaround; Saga of the Old West; and Banana Banjo); all terrific songs in their own right. Steve's a very talented guy, and it's been long in coming that the banjo-playing side of this force of nature is now preserved on CD for banjo pickers to learn from and enjoy.
