    Asher’s deft work provides breathing room between the instruments, Martin’s subtle playing leaves the showboating behind and the trio delivers a modest gem.

    The songs tap folk tradition without getting stuck in it; they’re full of struggling lovers, an ’84 Ford, a baby in a suitcase and some memorable melodies.

Steve Martin and Edie Brickell work very well together, and the songs are catchy and full of emotion without being over-produced.
