Here's a pre-release track from Steve Martin's new CD, The Crow: New Songs for the Five String Banjo. It comes in reg'lar and Super-Duper Double-Throwdown Extra Special Bitchin'!

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.

Mrs. G, a banjo picker herself, says that Steve Martin's banjo is a pre-war Gibson Florentine and is probably worth $20Large. Ain't life a bitch...
