The album combines Brickell\u2019s lyrics and smoky soprano with Martin\u2019s intricate and evocative banjo melodies. Though they co-wrote these songs from opposite coasts, they truly meet in the middle, as Brickell\u2019s lyrics paint vivid scenes of small-town life and oddball characters. The pair incorporates a wide spectrum of sounds and gets help from some diverse guest musicians\u2014everyone from bluegrass greats the Steep Canyon Rangers and jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding to a boys\u2019 choir and a string quintet. The result is a sophisticated, largely acoustic pop record that is a joy to hear. Martin and Brickell are a uniquely talented team, and given that they\u2019ve begun working on a musical, it seems we haven\u2019t heard the last from them. \u2013Juli Thanki<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Martin &amp; Edie Brickell Love Has Come for You [Rounder] Twenty-five years ago, the idea of a Steve Martin recording with Edie Brickell might have seemed like a disaster of New Coke proportions, but Love Has Come for You proves them to be a delightful creative duo.
