Junior Brown is one of the most talented and unique musicians I have ever listened to.
Amen.
Absolutely. The last time I saw him I realized that I was witnessing something super-human.
Yes. We need this Brit to 'cplain it to us .
with a great personality to match!!
He’s jimi hndeix level
Junior the not only the greatest guitarist but his deep earnest Tubb soud voice as a singer is incredible
Finally! Junior is probably the most underrated guitar god there is. SRV considered him the best in Austin.
Cool!
Agree!!!
When you listen to Junior, you can hear his influence on SRV.
I saw Junior Brown play at a small, 200 capacity club, it was the most amazing show. Also, the loudest show I've ever heard.
Agree!!
Junior with The Beach Boys as backup singers playing 409.... now that’s awesome
I saw him in concert once purely by luck. It was in 2000 and while visiting Austin I happened upon an advertisement indicating that he was playing in a park that day. My wife and I decided to go. It was a fantastic concert!
I believe that is his wife playing with him. I love Jr Brown singing "I'm The Highway Patrol" cracks me up.
Yeah!
C.S. Lee also mentioned "My Wife Thinks You're Dead". I never saw either one, but this side-splitting comedian is underrated in that field, too. We just saw his guitar work, which speaks for itself, and he is also a top-notch singer.
You are correct. That is his wife Tanya Rae. I think they were married in 1988
I have cd’s of him. When my daughters were home,I loved playing my wife thinks your dead...oldest was not a fan,lol!
@@robertesensee3494 She plays with him all the time.
Finally we get to hear Junior. The most underrated guitarist in the world. Great Analysis....Again
I'm glad you did a video on this performance.
Using the machine head to detune is SO cool musically AND technically.
Doing this, bending out past the nut, and using his finger to pry instead of a whammy bar makes him incredibly fun to watch. He's a true showman.
Thanks for highlighting his talent!
I'm a recent subscriber, and I must say I'm very impressed with not only the guitarists you are reviewing, but also the quality of your reviews. Well done, sir.
Thanks!
Well said
FIL, I AM SURPRISED THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS GUY, A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE USA NEVER HEARD OF HIM, LOL, HE IS A MAN OF MANY STYLES OF MUSIC, HE BLEW MY MIND THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM, HE IS GREAT, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, COUSIN FIGEL
Sadly, I'm not surprised at all. Austin is full of super talented musicians who are not paid. You might be surprised to learn that the Vaughn family has almost as much money as W and probably more than (lying) Trump, and if anybody is better than Stevie, or even his brother Jimmy (sure as hell not Jimi) he gets smothered.
Unfortunately a lot of people’s first contact with JR Brown is through the movie soundtrack to Me,Myself,and Irene.
An American treasure. Limitless styles and genres. Combination of corny and hip.
He does the funniest song ever called My Wife Thinks You’re Dead.... lol
C.S. Lee
Lyrically perfect
i laugh every time i hear it but he is campy enough that the song still is believable. gotta love him.
I never saw that one, but I do know that Junior Brown is a great humorist. He'll have you laughing all night long.
Junior Brown
Is a underrated musician
Thanks for giving Junior some notice. He is a fantastic guitarist and showman. He can really play the blues too. Love Junior Brown.
No problem!
I stumbled upon Junior Brown years ago and became an instant fan. Besides being a top-shelf guitarist, he was a terrific songwriter. Check out “My wife thinks you’re dead.” Hilarious and skillful.
The legendary Junior Brown
👍
If he isn't legendary, he should be!
Junior is a monster on the guit steel and his ease and demeanor on his shows makes them a treasure to see. Another great send up from you, Fil. Watching you watch and admire the performers, shows through on your delivery. You've an excellent channel !
Thanks!
Early 90s. Every Sunday night at the Continental Club on South Congress in Austin. I was there listening to Junior in spite of the fact I had German class at 8am Monday morning. I never learned much German, btw.
I've seen Junior Brown in concert a couple of times and he blows me away. One of the things I like to do is watch Tanya Brown, his wife, strum like hell on that dreadnought acoustic.
I hope you’ve listened to him sing as well. He’s top notch!
The best part of your videos is we get to learn about famous guitar players we dont know about but should know.
Expanding our music minds.
Thanks bro.
No problem!
And check out his wife Tanya Rae on guitar. She's an absolute rhythm machine! Saw several of their gigs--Killer show every time!
@Tamara Didn't realize she was his wife! How cool, and yeah, her rhythm is amazing. Noticed that "fanning" right hand right off. She's killin' it!
I’ve loved junior for over 20 years, seen him over 6 times. But, I have to say all shows were great; except one. I saw him about 11 years ago in Arlington Texas, and he was not feeling it. Yelled t soneone in the audience and ended the show early. I hated seeing it, but he is human and I would be first in line to see him again
Thanks for the suggestion!
I didn't realize she was his wife. She is a rock for sure. I love them even more now..lol
Always wondered about her, very cool. Never knew that was his wife.
Every time I hear Junior Brown play Highway Patrol it puts a smile on my face! Love his music!
Cool!
Junior is one of the best guitarists and like the best guitarists in the world, he is certifiably insane
He's semi crazy... 🤣
I’ve come to Jr kind of late, but he’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite guitar players. He is all over that guitar bending, sliding, popping, slapping. He’s quite the player and always surprising. In the middle of a country tune he may break into a rock or reggae riff, whatever. Very original and very innovate. Love his style
Fil, I saw Junior Brown three years ago in Evanston Illinois and I went for a musical ride for two hours, what a performer! He has amazing technique and he can burn on either slide or regular guitar. I saw his special guitar up close and wow! What an extraordinary piece of craftsmanship. Thank you for this analysis.
Cool!
A moment of love for his amazing wife Tanya Rae Brown. She is a machine on rhythm acoustic, the pinnacle of a neglected art form. She is the rock of the band, without a doubt.
Yeah!
@@wingsofpegasus They are incredibly underrated singers as well. They do duets with them singing the third and 5th notes of the chord between them so your brain provide the root note of the chord and it sounds like they are singing full chords, not intervals. I have run over several their duets many times, and i eventually worked out the magic trick they are playing on us, so brilliantly. Love 'em.
Going to see him and the Rev Horton Heat in December, can’t wait!! Love Junior Brown!!
That's a double bill! Enjoy!
Cool!
Where ?????? Love RHH
TheAcworthdude The Royale, Boston! The Blasters are playing as well....
Im n Georgia :(
Love that someone finally checked out junior brown. His songs are so fun and love his guitar playing.
No problem!
I love the highest patrol song and it's a fun song
Hiway patrol- typo
junior is badass on that guit-steel. one of a kind. the boy can play.
👍
The whole band is great! His wife is fantastic on rhythm guitar and Junior’s technique is out of this world!
OMG I haven't thought about Junior Brown in years. Man that guy can play! And that guitar is sick by any standard.
Junior's wife is playing the rhythm guitar, what a girl!!!!
👍
Junior was her guitar teacher. He says he "kept her after class".
a good wife will do that for ya
@@ensinitas A really good wife will be a good roadie as well. Carry your speakers, amps, etc.
See Junior in a bar or small venue- he takes no prisoners. Seriously amazing player live. My favorite moment was the encore where he is total rock n' roll mode, crowd is going nuts, you can't hear yourself think. He comes back on stage with the guit-steel over his head like a trophy and does a Mick Jagger impression in a British accent " People....behave". It was awesome.
On the original version of Sugarfoot Rag he goes in and out of Hendrix- "Wind Cries Mary" and a riff from Band of Gypsies. Really cool.
Cool!
His wife lays down the rhythm like a machine.
I saw him at a bar in Tulsa with Buddy Miles on drums! (Hendrix's drummer) They tore it up.
I'm going to see him for the first time in Tomball Tx for the first time. I'm super excited for the show! I picked this one because it is a small venue! I know he will deliver! Musicians like this are one in a million in my opinion.
I've been a Junior Brown fan since the mid 90's. His technique BLEW me away the first time I saw him live on TV.
Cool!
Love Junior! Thanks for covering him. He's important.
I still remember the first time I saw Junior Brown play. With the big hat, suit, and mutant guitar, I legitimately thought he might be an alien.
Haha cool!
This is what MTV should have become. Great music and insightful analysis.Thanks so much for being a breath of fresh air.
Thanks! No problem!
I'm pretty sure that you're correct, he calls it a guit-steel. And, man can he make it talk!
👍
I just saw him live Feb 2, 2020 at the Gruene Dance Hall in Texas. Man has not lost a step, at all.
Watch “Highway Patrol” for the full gut-steel experience
Thanks!

@@SuperHeliboy LOVE IT! Oh that reminds me so much of the trucker records my dad listened to back in the day. Dave Dudley, Red Sovine, David Allen Coe among other legends.
I’ve seen him live 3-4 times once he had Buddy Miles drumming . He’s the real deal his singing his playing his stage presence, he’s doing the surf medley, walk don’t run , sometimes he throws in secret agent man , he’s also used Java by Al Hirt as an intro . He does it all .
I was doing sound at that show😂
@@mr.carter9004 that’s cool I’ve seen Jr a few times , he puts on a great show ,also in the early 90s me and s friend played an open Mike there . Time flys be well my friend
Excellent commentary. Junior and his wife are now doing shows, just the 2 of them on TH-cam. It's so entertaining watching Junior make every tune exciting. His unique voice deserves mention as well. THX Pegasus !
Hes 70 and still has it. Long live JB
I put Junior among my top 39 favorite guitarists. A group that includes guys like Al Dimeola, Zappa, SRV, Segovia, Slash, Santana, Angus Young, Jeff Beck, and Alex Lifeson.
One thing I was surprised the first time I saw Junior Brown live - he was LOUD too. Not used to such clean and loud guitar. He's an amazing player, I think he was using Fender Twins, which are 85 watts. His techniques are a lot more than just shown here. Thanks for putting this one up.
No problem!
I saw Junior play a free show at a casino, and he had a heavy quilt draped over the front of his amplifier, which was actually placed in front of him near the edge of the stage. I'm not sure if he was protecting the audience from excessive volume or preventing the sound from carrying a hundred and fifty yards out over the casino floor. Anyway, he would have been hearing the sound coming off the back side of the speaker cone!
THE ONE AND ONLY .HE IS PHENOMENAL .
Ah, I see you do know of him. This guy is so over the top talented!
Yeah!
I saw Junior Brown at Merlefest near Deep Gap NC and North Wilkesboro Community College around 2000. I've been a big fan ever since.
Junior Brown, a tremendous & unique talent! Hard to believe you chose a video of him playing guitar only! His skill on the steel is amazing, particularly his style & in how he so smoothly transitions from one to the other.
This guy, I've seen and spoken with Junior several times over the years and he has always said that having fun while playing is most important and it shows!
So much fun to watch. Haven't seen Junior Brown in ages. He's in his own lane, cool playing, and his songs are usually very quirky. Thanks for showing this.
No problem!
There's a video here on YT where JB is playing a club with several famous players in the crowd and they ALL came up to take a shot at that Guit-Steel! Junior himself played drums while everyone played his Guit-Steel.
I love the way he gets back into pitch after turning the machine heads. It’s way harder than it looks. Junior is a real pro.
👍
, Junior has those built for him , think he has seven, guitar is a telecaster set up steel is a lap steel, he loves to play and his wife is great THANKS FIL
I’ve really enjoyed listening to Junior for years. Thanks for this!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
I smoked a joint with Junior Brown one time with a few others back in 1993 at a bar in Austin Texas and he was inhaling the joint through his nose, probably to save his voice. Damn I miss those days
Have never seen that instrument but wow what a sound. !! Love it !
Wow, earlier today, I was thinking I should suggest a Junior Brown video to you! :) Love that guy! Great player and lyricist.
Cool!
Hey, thanks for doing Jr. Brown. I suggested a few other clips of his a few weeks ago that featured more of his country stuff but this surf medley is great too. He also plays blues like a monster too, channeling Albert King and other greats. He writes hilarious songs too that he sings with a laconic Ernest Tubb- style baritone. Thanks again for your videos.
No problem!
Wings of Pegasus
Fil thanks so much for all these vids. David Grissom from Austin , Texas has a very unique approach- blues, country, rock all fused together giving him a recognisable sound. Check him out. A great player!
Never heard of this fella.....glad I found him.....thanks Fil.......
That iconic Guit-Steel of Junior's runs $14500 from Stevens Guitars, a renowned luthier from Texas. Amazing sound by an amazing guitarist.
Cool!
Love junior brown! I really like your enthusiasm and how much you really like hearing people play guitar it's really fun to watch your videos thanks
Thanks!
What a fun video-love the surfer music! Junior is such a talented and creative guitarist. Thanks , Fil, for your informative analysis!
I was lucky enough to see him twice in venture California in 96' He is one hell of an entertainer
He opened for the Mavericks
Thanks for doing a video on him, Fil! One of my all time faves.
No problem!
The tune called, I Hung It Up by Junior Brown really shows off his talent..
Met Junior and Tanya backstage when the played one of their gigs at the Continental Club in Austin
Wow-thank you for this Fil-so glad to see him get some of the recognition he deserves!!
I saw him open up for the Mavericks in the mid-90s at Pier 6 in Baltimore. I was Music Director at a local country station. He was a PHENOM. We played some of his music on air, but he never really had a major hit. He was too good for country.
Cool!
I had the honor of seeing him live circa 2014 thereabouts, and he is getting nothing but older and better. It was a small venue in Dallas, but the room was full. Great player. Thanks, Fil.
Cool!
Fil!!!
My favorite TH-camr!
Here I am across the pond Stateside turning a friend onto Junior and here you lay in wait; gotta Love it. Probably about the time this video came out, maybe a year sooner I was lucky to catch him and his band in Amarillo Texas in a small club.
I sat probably 10 feet from him just across a small dancefloor the entire show. His vibe is contagious!
It's cool how you keep popping up with my favorite acts; I hope all is well in Jolly England brother! ✌️
I'm glad you were nice to Junior,great guitarist whose like your crazy uncle Earl.
much thanks for doing this video(I'm the one who suggested it)...seen him 3 times always entertaining and mesmerizing showmanship with some great humour thrown in , he and his wife are both really great people...now can someone tell me why this man is not considered one of the best guitarists of ever?...
Good question!
Not sure if it was my suggestion or another's but thank you very much for this one! I really dig Junior's style and moxie!
Junior Brown is amazing. I've been a fan for a while.
Junior Brown is so awsome, that man can play.
Just found your channel and as an acoustic player, I LOVE THESE and your reviews!!!
Thanks Marty!
Always worth double your money as a live performer. Of course he's a great player but it's always overlooked that he is a fantastic singer, his wife/rhythm guitarist is as well. He's also a heck of a nice guy.
Saw him in Columbus a few years ago. What a show.
Cool!
Was fortunate to see him many years ago. Top show, all the way through. Love everything he's done. Talent and hugely entertaining.
His wife could play rhythm in ANY studio session !
...Junior’s awesome...love his “Highway Patrol” vid and song...enjoyed it, Fil...
Cutter
I like many different Genres of music, But will always come back to Junior Brown
Junior Brown is sooooooo underated. Omg.....I just adore and melt. Great music. Now....this is awesome....but his original songs rock too. Bad ass country western rockabilly punk!!!
That was Git-Steel fun right there! Love your insights and explanations. Thanks Fil !
Thanks!
Amazing sound coming out of that contraption!
👍
Love Junior Brown. Thank you.posting this.
No problem!
That was really cool! Helpful teachings to those who play the guitar. So talented!
Thanks brother-for sharing this with us-have a good one fil
No problem!
Junior Brown's one slick picker.
Everybody's really glad to have him. His wife's pretty cool rhythm player also. He does a cool surf medley. Riffs Dick Dale.
Thanks!
I have been front row in front of his screaming Twins. He melted my face!
Cool!
Every time I see Jr Brown ripping loose on that thing, it makes smile and then laugh. What a hoot!
👍
FIL YOU ARE ON A ROLL.FANTASTIC PLAYERS .LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Thanks!
I love Junior Brown! Thank you for this! I love listening to your analysis'. I imagine you are a very good teacher!
No problem! Thanks!
Thanks for this one and thanks for answering my requests so quickly.
No problem!
I so love your videos that I watch many of them more than once! This one is just awesome!
Thanks!
Love how he uses the tuning pegs to emulate the whammy bar!
👍
Junior is a great picker, he can play any style of music out there. His steel and blues work is some of the best you'll ever hear.
👍
"Broke Down South of Dallas ... Highway Patrol". Jr is a wizard.
Just had the pleasure of meeting Junior at a small town music festival (Return to Riverside, Potlatch. ID.). 23 years (and a cold) hasn't diminished his skill one bit! He has an active tour schedule, usually small venues...see this living legend if you can.
Ive seen him several times ....always fun!
Cool!
