Renaissance man Steve Martin returns to his musical passion - bluegrass - with a new album of original songs, backed by the Steep Canyon Rangers. RARE BIRD ALERT is the follow up to 2009's Grammy winning THE CROW and features precise picking, delightful melodies, and well constructed lyrics, the hallmarks of Martin's musical pursuits. Special guests, Paul McCartney and the Chicks lend their vocal talents, respectively, to "Best Love" and "You".
