[sonny7863]

i love the break down at 2:48

[mandapandabana]

IMAGINE THIS - Steve Martin and The Folksmen!! I would love to go to a show that featured both acts. Then you have the funniest men in comedy playing the best music in the US. Even better if Harry Shearer would play the show in drag. <3

[texe31]

me gusta porque es un crack tocando banjo pero.. me da dolor de cabeza escuchar banjo.

[pin71917]

if you want to see them live they are coming to asheville

[SokSa]

won the well deserved award as well. who'd have guessed. amazing technicality as well. what an entertainer steve martin turned out to be. we're so lucky to experience him in his lifetime.

[VampirePostalService]

'I've got blisters on these fingers'!!!!!

[TheRoidr]

My wife hates bluegrass but I tell her to listen for irish infuence in the music,she's proud Irish and likes the music but not the singing.Can't get her to like it

[mprimecoleman]

Just saw them in Mesa, AZ last night. Wow what a show. I'm a classically and jazz trained musician and haven't really ever listened to blue grass except for Bela Fleck and Nickel Creek. Their concert was one of the best concerts I've ever been to: funny, highly entertaining, and great music.

[CHEVRONMACINTOSH]

Dat boi good!

[NAU097]

Damn!!! Can't wait to see these guys in Flagstaff.

[kittykatro]

what's with the redneck,hillbilly music?

[tranurse]

@kittykatro well, the people in the mountains were scots-irish. this is from back in the highlands of scotland and ireland.

[Tesiay]

Saw them live. Do a great job. And Martin's jokes=funny.

[mamamunns]

dude i actually liked your acting but i think you missed your calling this music is excellent!

[tedm2112]

@mamamunns hell yeah! steve is the MAN! and the SCR rock out with...well you get the idea ;)

[131Smith]

I "disliked" this video. I feel bad for the banjo..... It's always gettin' picked on!! :)

[TheFletch827]

The fiddler is really good. Beautiful song.

[blonde7000]

is that the fella from Aeroplane Steve Martin

[edezagon]

Steve Martin is one talented performer. His atheist songs is soooo funny...

[dumaskhan]

he had 12 kids and still can play the banjo better than the devil.

1 person likes the devil!

[Imptheshrimp]

Oh my god that is the most beautiful mandolin. Steve Martin obviously dominates the banjo, and everyone else is exceptional as well, but just wow. Mandolin of the heavens.

[4lifemnrep]

lord loves a working man....dont trust whitey....see a doctor to get rid of it.

[amuse80]

Saw them last night in Nashville - great show!!

[Brrdan]

Just saw these guys in concert. Amazing.

[RedowlMB]

Go see them if they come near you. Awesome band and Steve is funny as hell. Saw them in Portland ME May 18, 2011. Great time!

[ebbtuber]

At first glance, I thought Bill Hicks had come back as a fiddle player .. ..

[jamocadog]

[MrPlayskip]

I didn't know that Will Ferrell played the bass

[twistedfarker]

Rare bird alert is a great album

[Lapua05]

[volcanictruth]

Bundle of Talent = Steve Martin

[warfjm]

It takes somebody with the star power of Steve Martin to bring bluegrass back to the forefront.

[mshix]

That's a bass, not a cello :)

[TheBelieverAmen]

WOW Amazing absolutely amazing.

[MoriMaris]

Love the fiddler!

[loser0seven]

@MoriMaris he so good!! i love the sound of his violin... its so soulful

[hrick3511]

Yeah, more cow bell is the ticket!!!! lol

[bennator]

I don't know about you guys, but the guy playing the Cello... needs more Cow Bell.

[Standrew777]

@bennator Thats a bass

[thehomette]

Woody Platt is one seriously attractive guy.

[sanjeevksharma]

AWESOME!!!!! A true and pure entertainer....God Bless You Steve!!! Ur THE BEST!! :) 

[debbiechickie5]

Love the almost samisen like tone he gets at certain points..love this.

[chufuss]

Western North Carolina loves you..PICK ON!!!

[1Ocqueoc]

Going to see Steve & the Rangers at the Mirage in Vegas at the end of April ... cant wait!!!!!!!!!!

[yourfriendandmine]

The man can play , what a blessing that must be to play like that I am trying but I am slow as molasses ha ha ha .

[flashback96]

Comedians do have other talents...Steve Martin's musicianship really comes out in this performance. It good he showcases that and the Steep Canyon Rangers are a great group. Just like the Marx Brothers...we have all seen Harpo play the harp and piano and Chico play piano in their movies but few know that Groucho was a violinist. Those guys came from a very musical family.

[Tracey1963]

I like, but the Atheists Don't Have No Songs takes the cake!! I am a true believer, but it is so funny...

[Janice11353]

Just warming up for an old New Year tradition...

[peacenikron69]

Not only is he a wild & crazy guy but also an amazing banjo player ! Saw him at the "Beef & Bottle" in Gainesville in the early 70's !

[YoJJohnny]

Already done......3 albums out now......enjoy!!!

[predatorperko]

He's mean banjo player!

[elasticguitarra]

Steve Martin doesn't look very happy.

[ragesk8r34]

WOO HOO!! I can't watch this and keep still.



[Iluvbisquits]

and just think, Steve picked up the banjo so many years ago as a comedy stunt. Look what he does now! Amazing!!!

[honzabaseman]

Very nice video wonderful bluegrass music.

[bassface9393]

Dig the bass riser

[cangolias]

Muito bom!!!!

[TruegrassBoy]

Hey Steve! You and the Rangers are really good! So nice to see you putting so much love into this traditional bluegrass music!

[TheMrRayado]

Incredible at N.O. Jazz Fest! Great fun and thank you Steve for playing King Tut. I am sure you tired of it, but you know we love it.

[Ranger5Alive]

The song is a Steve Martin original called "Saga of the Old West" :)

[FullMetalPier]

hey guys, what's the name of that song??

[gjeanfreau]

I can't wait to see them at the N.O. Jazz Fest this year.

[tool24389]

[MoiraJRomer]

Saw their show in London this week and it was a really amazing night. Huge talent and great performances from everyone. Standing O well done, more please.

[MindGrapesful]

Ok, so now its time for them to release and album together! Ah-mah-zing.

[gillypants420]

@MindGrapesful they just did

[HazeGreyAndUnderway]

@MindGrapesful go to :20..... listen

[SenorBloo]

First.

Also, Steve martin is so stiff. It looks like someone stuck that banjo up his ass right before the show.

[yourfriendandmine]

@SenorBloo you must be jealous . it is part of the show he dead pans to show he is still a funny guy . Why can't you admit he is a great performer and has many talents that God has blessed him with
