Music reviews of Steve Martin Brothers

Music Review: Two sides of Steve, whether you like it or not
Rating: 3 Stars

"The Steve Martin Brothers" confused and frightened a lot of people upon its release in 1981. Those who'd bought his previous comedy albums didn't get what they'd expected. Martin tried to chart out some new comedy territory, didn't rely on his typical catch phrases and routines, and what was with all the banjo tunes on side 2? Sales were weak, and Martin never released another album.

Truthfully though, as a stand-up comic, Steve Martin was finished by this point. He retired his live act around this time to concentrate on movies and writing, and these recordings represent some of his last performances as a stand-up comedian. Though Martin tries to freshen up his act with new characters and styles, even calling on outside comedy writers like Jack Handey to help, what's here is definitely "B" material. He sounds tired and burned out, and definitely ready for a change. Still, there are a few laughs left to be had, and one routine, "What I Believe" has become an SNL classic.

As for side 2, the main reason for the banjo music is that Martin had run out of comedy material and needed something to fill out the album. Martin is an accomplished banjo player, as he's demonstrated many times in his act, and the the music here is well done (apart from an ill-advised vocal attempt at "Waterbound."). But banjo music isn't why people bought Steve Martin albums, and thus it likely got little play among fans.

It's nice to have "The Steve Martin Brothers" finally make its CD debut, if only to complete his catalogue on digital. But it's certainly not the place to start.
