Pretty Little One - Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers feat. Edie Brickell

[@herbieschwartz9246]

Years ago (arrow through the head days) I saw Steve Martin do a show. His monologue had everyone in tears. Then he picked up his banjo and everyone went nuts at his talent. The world needs more Steve Martin's -especially now.

[@JoanJennings]

I saw Steve Martin when he was the warm-up act for Helen Reddy. He was hilarious.

I saw Steve at Cowtown Ballroom ( Kansas City MO) back in the 70's. Great show.

[@dahger7]

On the way off chance that Steve actually reads this I just want to say...Thanks for everything.

[@cathyclunysois]

Steve Martin is a national treasure.

[@bowieaddict3178]

Indeed!!

[@terryboswell8133]

Amen

[@cindyhorn5786]

Amen! Luv this talented man.

[@patriciajrs46]

Yes, he is.

[@landonohlinger2708]

How could you ever dislike this? It's Steve freaking martin!

Steep Canyon Lost A great member when Woody left. I hope all the rest survive

"A banjo player is like a tornado, you can hear it coming from a mile away and there ain't nothin you can do about it". ----- Steve Martin

[@flautalee3090]

This is the first time I’ve heard Steve Martin sing ~ he’s great. I’ve been impressed with his banjo playing forever...wow! The band is tight!

[@pileofstuff]

He's been singing for quite a while - search the video "king tut strut"

[@flautalee3090]

@@pileofstuff I sure will. I remember that skit.

[@turtle19dad]

I was thinking the same thing!!!!

[@samuelr7662]

I believe Steve lived the Laurel Canyon's explosion, in early 70's

[@kevinscheuller4429]

To be fair, the King Tut Strut was more of a rap than a song, IMHO.

[@bp6246]

"It's a song that tells a story...."😂❤

[@LORENIFFT68]

Amazing how it combines all of Steve Martins strengths in one song, and Edie Brickell ...is a goddess.

[@wesmahan4757]

Steve Martin for President, because he's done everything else brilliantly!!

[@PlanetRockJesus]

As a musician, I'm blown away at how good Steve Martin actually is as a musician. Wow.... Talented comedian, actor and musician. And, he's quite a good magician as well.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

And writer. Pleasure Of My Company is a gem.

[@JenF-dh3cx]

Oh, my gosh! What a great song and dose of humor by the great (who else?) Steve Martin!!!!❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😊

[@michman2]

Steve Martin has been playing as long as he's been a comedian. It's so good to see that he's gotten a chance to shine at something else now.

[@maureendunn6048]

So talented, Steve Martin, musically, humorously, intellectually, author and actor ...

[@maureendunn6048]

I've seen this before and just love the fun, rhythm, lyrics, just everything about it. And, of course, Steve is one of my most fav entertainers, so incredibly talented all around (wrote a great book, too).

[@chasbodaniels1744]

He really is a Renaissance Man insofar as his varied interests and accomplishments. I’ve long felt a reverence for good ol’ Steve, stemming from his dedication to whatever he’s doing ... and from his self-deprecating yet humorously subtle arrogance. Guess he’s pretty ok 👍🏾.

[@americanwoman4284]

So true..so talented. Ilove him and to think he is one of us deplorables!!!

[@sabinfigaro7334]

I love his and Short's banter.

[@taydrabrookshire347]

[@stevemccart9109]

Been a fan of Steve Martin since the Smothers BROTHERS and this with Edie Brickell and the Rangers is incredible. How can someone be so multitallented is just beyond me. Of the small list of people I wish I could have met in my lifetime I put him up at the top.

[@francisbtube]

For me it would be Dolly Parton and Steve Martin!

[@seanschmidt2793]

Give him ring, he'll prolly answer 🤣

[@Suzanne-f4x]

and Jimmy Buffet@@francisbtube

[@NancyHanson3472]

I got him to autograph my program a few years ago after a show with the Steep Canyon Rangers at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It was a tremendous thrill to see him up close! I have so much admiration for him. Many thanks, Mr. Martin!!

[@Kara-pm9uj]

Fantastic banjo player that Steve Martin is. Great addition with Edie. She has a perfect voice for this.

[@BrianCairns-k9f]

For 45yrs I thought he was just a really funny comedian.Way to go Mr.Martin!!!

[@LordDarthBaiter]

I remmeber seeing Steve singing "king Tut Funky Tut" in Symphony Space in the late 70s. I was 10 years old but that performance took up permanent residence in my head. 😊😊😊

[@patrickbush9526]

Steve Martin is so amazingly talented we never know what's next one of the greatest talents of our time there's no denying he's a wild and crazy guy

[@richardkarelsen6599]

Great talent...Steve Martin

[@vincentmckiernan4975]

Great, again. PLEASE DO NOT retire from music.

[@ShmurplesArePurple]

The fiddle player is vibing and I am here for it

[@ShadeoftheEvening]

I just found an album, The Epic Sessions. Yeah, he does have a great voice. Was listening to Edie Brickell at work. I did see her live twice. I miss the 90s. The dogs like Edie😁I work at a Veterinary Clinic as a groomer. Love from Alabama. This whole compliation is now in my Spotify list. Super impressed. I love blue grass🙋🏽‍♀️🥰🐶🪕

[@flautalee3090]

TY! I’ll search for it!

[@Dons166]

I was at this show. Great time.

[@mulliniks51]

The fiddle player has ' happy feet ' . Love it

[@roberthedges4585]

Steve Martin has been entertaining us since late 1960s - Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, movies, stand-up comedy on TV and concerts, and unique bluegrass music. Now he is on tour with Martin Short. Let’s hope he can perform for another 10 years. Thanks for everything, Steve.

[@pamelatabar3669]

This dude is unstoppable!

[@RichardKagle-lj2bs]

I didn't know you was a musician how refreshing

[@DarylVHorn]

This song has everything: brilliant writing, composition and arrangement, fantastic performers, continuously escalating murder drama sprinkled with comedy, and a dazzling climax with a twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan. Steve Martin is so ridiculously multi-talented.

[@georgecass8529]

It would be cool to see them come to Conway,Mo Bluegrass festival

[@timetraveller75akatt82]

wow great Song and awsome Band

[@alitlweird]

Nicky Sanders is one of the best fiddle players in bluegrass today. 🎵🎶🎵 🎻

[@Silverhornet81]

Brilliant song!! Love the pickin of Steve and love the Steep Canyon Rangers. Edie is a great addition to the group.

[@mizzy19]

Always loved Steve Martin anything so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him perform at the Grammys a few years ago. This song is so him.

[@TheWyrdSmythe]

Simple unalloyed joy for these troubled times. Thank you.

[@danarbuckle6640]

Awesome. I rarely go to a live music concert but I went to Steep Canyon Rangers a few years ago when they played in the round in Long Island. It was worth the drive.

[@craigbrooksby]

The lyrics are nuanced and masterful. Set to a great melody. Performed beautifully by the whole band. An instant classic. I listen to this often

[@tonirad9577]

I have been watching Steve Martin since I was a child. Never disappointed!!

[@jessicarowley9631]

Aabsolute, stone cold brilliance! Loved this absolutely 💯

[@abby3814]

I can't get enough of this song. I've watched this ten times in a half a day already. I need it in other venues and not just on youtube!

[@figapow]

Put it on Fbook and things! ALL the gun controle advocates should hear it! : )

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Oh brother, those “damned gun control advocates”, eh? Never get in a truck with someone you know very well is disturbed and likely violent. (Yes, yes, I realize this is merely an allegorical song.)

[@robmonster45]

me too!

[@terrybeavan4264]

As I've mentioned elsewhere here, the two did an album in 2015 and I love the video they did for a great song on the album, if you haven't seen it, I think you'll love it, enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYXTgaGJiZZmnMU

[@SteveHiggs-d8m]

I’ve had a nice experience tonight. I tuned into an arts tv programme and happened upon the whole concert. As an Englishman, this sound is pretty new to me, but it was a most pleasant hour or so. I didn’t even know he had a band. I’m hooked!

[@patsyquinn5500]

Watched it too. I knew he played, but what a treat the band and Edie Brickell were.

[@Douglas.Scott.McCarron]

It's so nice to hear a song about the success of love between two people.

[@fretted]

Eddie is such a cutie! Love this song, just found it. Lyrics if you want them: Saw a girl at a picture show Walked right up and said hello Seemed to me like a girl in need I'm a guy who's built for speed You and me could have some fun You pretty little one Took her riding around the town Ain't no woman ever shut me down Ever seen a truck like this? How about a little kiss? You pretty little one Pretty little one Pretty little one Took her out about a month or so She's my gal, I told her so She resisted for a bit Maybe that's the way of it You pretty little one Couple times she tried to leave Told her that don't work for me Her daddy tried to intervene Folks, I'm just a mean machine I can handle dumb old Pops What's he done but shovel rocks? I said, Baby that's enough I might've got a little rough On the pretty little one Pretty little one Pretty little one Then she called me late one night Said, It's over, let's not fight I said, Sure but one more talk Maybe just a little walk Around the block a nice goodbye You're so lovely honey-pie I went over, picked her up Got her in my pickup truck Driving slow around the town Then I put the pedal down Took her down a gravel road Stopped the truck where no one goes This is where the job gets done On the pretty little one Pretty little one Pretty little one Blackest night that I had seen In the darkness I felt mean From my boot I pulled a knife Said, I'm gonna take your life I was calm as I can get So I lit a cigarette In the flicker I could see She had a pistol trained on me That pretty little one Edie Brickell I said, Mister I'm no fool My daddy raised me country cool I think my papa knows enough Guys like you who think they're tough He read you easy as ABC That's when he gave this gun to me And ever since your truck arrived My hand's been on this.45 Steve Martin I went at her with my knife She pulled the trigger, shot me twice In the heart and in the head Took half a breath, slumped over dead She pumped another for good luck Right between my buttercups That pretty little one Pretty little one Pretty little one In the grave I'm dead and gone The little gal, she wrote this song She came over in due course Sang to me without remorse Then she whispered to the ground Edie Brickell I'll let you have another round My name is Lucy Allencott You should know that I was not Your pretty little one
