Awhile back, we reported on Steve Martin making a new country bluegrass album. Now word comes out that it's being released just around the corner. Martin, a banjo player for 45 years, spent nearly that long crafting tunes for The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo, available Jan. 27 exclusively at Amazon.com for the first 90 days.
Produced by Martin's high school friend John McEuen, Crow contains 14 original songs plus Clawhammer Medley (with Red Is the Rose, Sally Ann, Johnson Boys and others). The title track, first recorded for Tony Trischka's 2007 album, climbed the bluegrass charts to become Martin's second hit (after King Tut).
