The Steve Martin Brothers (Wikipedia.org)

The Steve Martin Brothers, released on LP in 1981, is Steve Martin's final comedy album. The album was not released on compact disc until Wounded Bird Records leased it from Warner Bros. Records, and released a version in 2006.

Based on the album cover photos, the title of the album refers to the two sides of Martin that are showcased on the album: The Rich Comedian, showcased on Side One, and the Peace-Loving Hippie Banjo player, showcased on Side Two. Although his self-taught banjo playing had been featured on previous albums, it was never showcased until this album.

In an interview with Banjo Newsletter a few years ago, Steve said of this album: This was the only album on which he brought in other writers to help him with his material, including Saturday Night Live writer Jack Handey. Although he was still a big draw, when this album was released, he announced that he intended to never perform stand-up comedy again.

The record became his lowest peaking album to date on the Billboard Pop Albums Chart, peaking at a disppointing #135. The album was also his lowest selling album to date as well, and was uncertified, which meant that the album failed even to go Gold.

Despite its poor reception, the album was nominated in 1982 for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.
