This week on Deep Roots we're proud to bring you the annual Deep Roots Best of 2011 show. Now I should say before we get going that these are in NO particular order - folk music is such a strangely stratified genre that it's impossible to judge the best say, fiddle record against a new experimental folk record - so you're going to hear the best records albeit not in countdown form.

Duration: 53:58
On today's show, a song from the new album from a fella who can both write about folk music and perform it, the comedian Steve Martin shows off his skills on the 5 string banjo, we explore the tradition of completely unaccompanied singing with examples from Daniel Payne and Allison Krauss and a Mining song from Merle Travis for the weekly country classic. Plus music from Old Man Luedecke, Graham Wells and Peter Paul and Mary - all on Deep Roots!
