Show Description
"Junior's loose-as-a-goose wristing, combined with his guit-steel's unique and extraordinary range, actually elevates him into the class of musical humans going where no man, Hendrix not excepted, has gone before." - The Village Voice
"Guit-steel" guitar wizard and multi-Grammy Junior Brown, a veteran of the fertile Austin music scene, is known for his fiery mix of trad country and western, rockabilly, rock and blues. With a rich baritone singing highly entertaining songs of heartache, hotrods and honkytonks, and awe-inspiring prowess on the double-neck "guit-steel" guitar of his own invention, Brown's music alternately swings and burns, drawing inspiration from such artists as Bob Wills, Buck Owens, Jimi Hendrix and Dick Dale. He delivers lyrics full of word play and double meaning backed up by his wife on rhythm guitar, whom he introduces as "the lovely Miss Tanya Rae."

Hendrix not excepted, indeed
In response to Junior Brown - Report this Comment
I see Junior every time I'm stateside, and four of the six slots on my car CD player are filled with his albums. Rooted in country, with a sly sense of humor -- but don't let none of that get in the way. It's about the guitar and steel playing. This guy's a genius and, a breath of fresh authentic air in this day and age. Don't miss the show.
