NPR has a report about, as well as an opportunity to listen to, a new album by the above-named artists. Steve Martin is actually quite a banjo player, as we have known since he turned up to play with Earl Skruggs. Not just anyone could have pulled that off!
As for Edie Brikell, I hadn't thought of her in years. I do remember her, though.
If that is the frame, it sounds like an odd pairing. I've only listened to the first track so far, but it appears they've made it work surprisingly well. I'm always surprised to hear someone from Hollywood reference the South in their songs in a way that shows a kind of feel for the place.

I didn't know that about Steve Martin. Quite the banjo player
It's apparently not new with him!
Albert Lee, the guy with the red electric guitar in the first video, must be the happiest guy alive- I don't think I have ever seen a picture of him when he was not smiling!
Thanks for the post!

Maybe it's because of this:
"Brickell was born in Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas." - Wikipedia
