Back in the era of wild 'n' crazy guys and arrows through heads, the comedian's bluegrass breakdowns seemed just another puzzle piece to his absurdist shtick. However, four decades into a career of comedy, movies, novels, and memoirs, Martin proves his banjo love no passing fancy on his dead-serious 2009 musical debut, THE CROW. It's a somber yet fun affair that ranges from rollicking instrumentals like \"Hoedown at Alice's\" and \"Tin Roof\" (on which he is joined by fellow comedian-musician Eugene Levy) to the rich country balladry of \"Pretty Flowers\" (featuring Dolly Parton \u0026amp; Vince Gill in gentle duet). The only time Martin regresses to silliness comes on \"Late for School,\" a dizzying, sweet, and downright hilarious narrative of a dash to beat the opening bell told from the frantic schoolboy's perspective.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45327755444511,"sku":"011661064720","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/3435ae39f012274bec6233cc1b60afa0.jpg?v=1777504971","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/crow-new-songs-for-the-five-string-banjo","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
