While he has played banjo from an early age (and included music in his comedy routines from the beginning of his professional career), since the 2000s Martin has increasingly dedicated his career to music (and acting less) and spending much of his professional life playing banjo, recording, and touring with various bluegrass acts, including Earl Scruggs, with whom he won a Grammy for Best Country Instrumental Performance in 2002. He released his first solo music album, The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, in 2009, for which he won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.
Raised in Garden Grove, California, his first notable entertainment job was as a writer for the American sketch comedy show "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour". Through his subsequent appearances on "Saturday Night Live", Martin has been one of the most famous comedians in the United States, especially during the mid-1970s. Martin has appeared in over 50 movies and between 1977 and 1981, released four best-selling comedy albums. He is also a noted banjo player, and has received accolades for his talents. He has been awarded four Grammy awards, two (1978 and 1979) for his comedy albums and two (2001 and 2009) for bluegrass recordings.
His 2009 album, "The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo" won Best Bluegrass Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards.
In 2011, he released "Rare Bird Alert" alongside the Steep Canyon Rangers, which reached #43 on the U.S. Billboard 200.
His album, "Love Has Come for You", recorded with Edie Brickell, was released in 2013.

Steve Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When he tries to get in your head
It's a long, lonely night
When you tell him no, and you tell him go
And he shows you pictures instead
It's a long, lonely fight
Hey, hey, fighter
Hey, hey, fighter
You can stay
Wooh, yeah, you can stay with me
Wooh, yeah, you can stay
When you let her in, thought she was a friend
And you find she's no friend at all
It's a hard, lonely time
And you let her see every little thing
In your heart, a clear crystal ball
It's a hard, lonely fight
Hey, hey, fighter
You can stay with me
Hey, hey, fighter
You can stay
Wooh, yeah, you can stay
Wooh, yeah, you can stay with me
Got no one to keep you warm
You feel the fire is dyin'
You can lie here by my side
Hey, hey, fighter
You can stay with me
Hey, hey, fighter
Won't you stay with me
Wooh, yeah, you can stay with me
Wooh, yeah, you can stay
