Song of the Week - Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers - Jubilation Day (live)
Album: Rare Bird Alert


This fun-loving break-up song adds to Steve Martin's ridiculous resume. The actor/comedian/singer/writer has been a regular of Saturday Night Live, written a best-selling novel (Shopgirl), been in a plethora of movies, and won a Grammy and an Emmy along the way. In fact, he's only missing an Oscar and a Tony from the exclusive EGOT club, but those missing two seem well within reach.

In the meantime, Steve Martin has resumed his banjo-playing ways, and this time he has joined the talented Steep Canyon Rangers to help him out. Let's hope this isn't the last we hear of this tandem, but, if anything, at least we get a glimpse into the forgotten world of sweet bluegrass twang.

And you know they must be good when your dad calls you up to ask if you've heard of them.
