The comedian told The AP that he remains surprised to have collaborated with one of his childhood idols on the track 'Best Love'.
"It's very hard to believe," Martin said."I was a kid when I first heard Paul McCartney, and if you told me one day that he'd be singing one of my tunes... I'm still flabbergasted."
Martin hit the top spot of the US bluegrass charts with his debut album The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo in 2009.
Rare Bird Alert, which also features Dixie Chicks and The Steep Canyon Rangers, is released on March 15.
