Our Take

Steve Martin & Steep Canyon Rangers have joined forces once again to deliver their latest offering, "The Long-Awaited Album." And let me tell you, the wait was almost worth it.

This album is a rollercoaster of banjo-picking, foot-stomping madness that will have you tapping your toes and scratching your head in equal measure. Martin's signature wit and charm are on full display, with lyrics that are as clever as they are absurd.

The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with the Steep Canyon Rangers holding their own against the comedic genius of Martin. From the fast-paced picking on tracks like "Caroline" to the soulful harmonies on "Nights in the Mountains," these musicians know how to keep things interesting.

But for all its musical prowess, "The Long-Awaited Album" can't quite shake the feeling that it's all just a bit too self-aware. Martin's comedic stylings sometimes overshadow the music, leaving you wondering if you're listening to a comedy album or a bluegrass record.

Despite this slight misstep, Steve Martin & Steep Canyon Rangers have crafted an album that is sure to please fans of both comedy and bluegrass. So grab your best pair of overalls, pour yourself a glass of moonshine, and give this album a spin. It's a wild ride that's worth taking.
