Preorder an autographed copy (!!) of Alison Brown and Steve Martin’s upcoming album, Safe, Sensible and Unique, due out Friday, October 17th on vinyl and CD via Compass Records.

The debut collaborative album from Alison Brown and Steve Martin, Safe, Sensible and Sane, is a collection inspired by a shared fascination with the unique beauty of the banjo. After achieving a No. 1 hit with the first tune they ever wrote together (“Foggy Morning Breaking,” from Brown’s 2023 LP On Banjo), the two GRAMMY-winning musicians started dreaming up a batch of banjo-centered songs built on Brown’s daringly innovative melodies and Martin’s quirky yet profoundly tender lyrics. Safe, Sensible and Sane is the result of their ongoing partnership. They are joined on the project by numerous musical luminaries, including Jackson Browne, Jason Mraz, Indigo Girls, Aoife O’Donovan, Vince Gill, Tim O’Brien, Della Mae, and more.

Preorders for vinyl & CD will be autographed by Alison Brown and Steve Martin! Due to the special nature of this release, preorders are limited to one (1) per format, per customer / household.
