Thursday Tunes: Steve Martin and Edie Brickell

Have you heard Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's collaboration?  The album is called Love Has Come For You, and what I've heard of it is lovely.  (I really like bluegrass.)  This is "When You Get to Asheville" as seen on David Letterman.

Thursday Tunes: Mix Tape

Remember mix tapes?  Do you still make them (with new technology)?  I made up a CD of some country/folk/bluegrass tunes from my iPod, and I'm really enjoying it.  I love Nickel Creek - I wish they were still together.  We heard Steel Magnolia and Sarah Jarosz at the Grand Ole Opry a year or so ago.  It was Sarah's Opry debut.  She's fantastic.  I am loving Lady Antebellum and the more melodic sound of the new country music - the harmonies and instrumentation are great.  And, of course, Steve Martin's banjo playing is enthralling.  Here's my playlist:

Thursday Tunes: The Great Remember

A couple of weeks ago we heard Steve Martin on the bluegrass channel on XM radio. He played this song called "The Great Remember," and it was lovely.

Thursday Tunes: The Crow

We heard this song on satellite radio (the bluegrass channel) the other day and thought that it was fantastic. It's Steve Martin, and it's called The Crow.
