After achieving a No. 1 hit with the first tune they ever wrote together (“Foggy Morning Breaking,” from Brown’s 2023 LP \u003cem data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"404\"\u003eOn Banjo\u003c\/em\u003e), the two GRAMMY-winning musicians began dreaming up a batch of banjo-centered songs built on Brown’s daringly innovative melodies and Martin’s quirky yet tender lyrics. The result is an album that feels both inventive and deeply heartfelt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"1172\"\u003eThey 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 others.
