Apr 10, 2014This is a rare album indeed. A mixture of funny and moving songs, with "Yellow-Backed Fly" and "The Great Remember (For Nancy)" as standouts. Steve Martin proves a solid banjo player, but he does well in leaving most of the singing to others. Also, plus for including a live version of old favorite King Tut.

UncutJul 15, 2011Rare Bird Alert, recorded with the Steep Canyon Rangers, is a more rounded than 2009's mostly instrumental The Crow. [Jul 2011, p.92]

Jun 30, 2011Martin is just too instinctively amiable to muster the passionate furies that animate the best of his genre, and too quick to deflate whatever momentum he does gather with a joke.
