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

Steve Martin is a national treasure.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

The fiddle player is vibing and I am here for it

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

"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

Only Steve Martin could pull off that "butter cup" move on a formal stage.

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

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. 😊😊😊

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.

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🙋🏽‍♀️🥰🐶🪕

Steve is so talented and handsome as hell. That strong jaw, I always thought so.

I was thinking, "What a terrible story line", and then came the part where he sees the glint of her gun. Lol. Nice twist, great song.

The fiddle player has ' happy feet ' . Love it

Fantastic short story in a song - loved the plot twist! 😂

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

More banjos.

Great, again. PLEASE DO NOT retire from music.

I watch this about every couple days, what can I say

The new phone book's here!! 😂😂😂

I was at this show. Great time.

Love the fiddle player . He's got ' happy feet ' He kinda dances when he plays .

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

This dude is unstoppable!

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.

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

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.

That fiddler!! Steve's picking's pretty good too. The fiddle player is superb, though. It expresses the story line.

Saw them at the Wharton Center on the campus of Michigan State University. What a fun night!

what a great way to grow older with music.

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

Awesome. I've been a Steve Martin fan for 40 years (ouch!) and I never tire of seeing his work.

Aabsolute, stone cold brilliance! Loved this absolutely 💯

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!

wow great Song and awsome Band

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

Oh my Steve. What a beautiful talent. Thank you sir! Great song…lol

Saw/heard this song at the Hollywood Bowl last summer. Actually, it's a pretty good song.

😍😅😂🤣 Thanks, Steve & Edie! 👍

I had forgotten how much in love I was with Edie Brickell. What a great song. You make good stuff. Thanks for the years and years of entertainment.

Ha ha ha! Love it!

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!

The lead up to this song was also great

Great American artistic ...greetings from Mar del Plata Argentina 😊😊😊🤗🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Steve's great

Dang, this is 1 talented person. Dang tight band.

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

The new phone books are in the new phone books are in!

Hello nice video thank you 👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

haven't heard a song this entertaining since "Tom Dooley"

im glad hes in the music biz. seems like he more loves doing it rather than just doing as a job.

I laughed my buns off at "Atheists Have No Songs". But I was amazed to hear how talented Steve Martin is on banjo and with his voice. I will have to catch his show somewhere. Honestly, Steve Martin, you are the only Comedian who ever made me laugh out loud. Love you Steve. Keep up the great work!

So he's got talent!

I can't find ANY problems with this song whatsoever.

Dear Mr. Martin, I want to let you know that watching you play really inspires me to learn how to play the banjo. I love the sound of the closed-back Deerings, and have no musical talent at the moment, but what the hay!!!! I might as well do something that I enjoy before my dirt nap! Thank you. Your music is GREAT!

Love that fiddle player !

simply brilliant

Steve Martin Talent overload

Comeuppance set to music. Thanks, Mr. Martin.

Wow awesome show Steve Martin

Saw Edie B. with The New Bohemians at a thousand seat hall in Davenport, Iowa. This is the first time I have seen and heard her since then.

Bravo Steve..

The fiddle player's great!!😊

I love this song. CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HEARING IT.

Steve Martin is a great talent, I remember the first time I saw this guy and he made me laugh like crazy I knew he could play banjo but I never saw him play anything serious till now and it was somewhat comedic but shows his true talent.

I didn't expect that; it is simply great, full of twist and style! A gem

Yeah , this is great, Steve Martin is a very talented actor & musician, and singer, how about that America!?

Mr Martin is a very rounded artist... Very talented... Movies... tearther... Is anything this man can not do?

eeeeesh, macabre yet BRILLIANT performance!

A wild and craaazy little one!

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

From one Q tip to another, I like this song a lot!

always nice watching your videos

I can't stop watching this, the tension build..to release is simply brilliant.. I love it, and yes, Steve Martin CAN sing!

The first time I ever saw Steve was on The Smothers Brothers Show and he played banjo!

C'mon help this song go to 1Million VIEWS🔥🔥🔥❤️🇲🇨

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

Wait, what? I been locked away too long. I had no dang idea. Wow. Just wow.

Thank you. Saw you at the University of Utah back in the late 70's. Saw Doc Watson that year too. You are more like him today than then. What an amazing entertainer you have been and are now.

Steve you just create your own playlist lol

Hi Steve you sound great man.

This is my favorite song right now. Love the banjo, the fiddle and Steve's voice, but the story is the best part. First heard it at the 2014 Ottawa Jazz Festival, was my favorite performance of the night.

Saludos a todos los amigos de Estados Unidos ..dios los bendiga .😁😁

Great,steve Martin.

Laughed SO hard that I cried. Thank You, Mr. Martin. One and All!

Hey, this is the biggest surprise after I've learned that Clint Eastwood loves jazz. Congrats, Steve, this is a pretty BIG one of a performance!

I saw him do this with Martin short. Priceless

I like to call this song 'Buttercup'. My grandfather played the Banjo and I too would love to play one IF I had a banjo. Love to you Mr. Martin, you amazing artist!

Excellent shit there Mr. Martin...salute!

Love that Fiddle.

Love the fiddle player antics, great song
