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, 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. Produced by John McEuen
