Junior Brown Grand Ole Opry.mpg

[@dvgayle1]

I didn't care for county music much until I heard jr Brown😊

[@yuvegotmale]

who in the hell on planet earth can play better than this?..................No One..............

[@karlfisher1864]

Better than Junior Brown? Well, there was Roy Clarke but I heard that he is dead. Wonderful! Karl

[@harrywood8196]

1st I've heard of this guy, magic fingers for sure. His manager needs to give his head a shake for not promoting this guy more. ​@@karlfisher1864

[@matthewbingham8824]

Vince Gill, Joe Walsh, Rafael Tranquilino, Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mick Mars, Charlie Crowe, Lita Ford, Nick Vigarino,. Junior is talented but he has an ego bigger than the Devil.

[@sethrochford8352]

@@matthewbingham8824 What does his ego have to do with it?

[@kleetus92]

Jerry Reed?

[@Krispy1011]

Junior is definitely and icon in the country music industry! one the greatest

[@charlesnolan7602]

I first read about Junior, in the Tower Records store magazine in 1991, and bought "Shades" as a French import that year! I saw and met Junior during his 2017 tour- front row! Semi-crazy for Junior Brown!

[@alanoffer]

Can someone explain to me why this guy wasn’t a huge star , this to me is country music

[@ADOTlied]

Is huge star to those who get it

[@scottobrien3112]

Amen brother. Junior Brown does not get the recognition he deserves. Funny and an amazing musician. Besides good country (not the swill you hear from the generic truck commercial sound today) he plays some mean surfing riffs.

[@tawakoni56]

He is just not a faker. And people want copycat country today. Himble and highly skilled. I am a huge fan. But its not progreesive nough for most country now. Shame

[@kenforu1531]

Crappy agent?

[@hardhead7056]

Well. He did get a lot of Grammy nods in the past.

[@brad9092]

I'm so glad we have KZbin so we can see just how great country music used to be.

[@DrMurdercock]

Joe Diffie man, RIP brother. I know you're driving a pick up truck around heaven man.

[@TEXASLOYAL]

Damn, I had no idea

[@r.b.1613]

I call it "Beer Joint Music". Jr Brown is a legend. Couldn't find him anywhere. Kept my eyes & ears open but got nothin. Never got to hear him live but would have drove 500 miles to see this legend of Country Music.

[@DrMurdercock]

Nothing about Jr is normal. I think this is why I always liked the dude and his music. I mean, look at his custom guitar, the way he bends his hat brim, his amp is facing the ceiling. How can you not admire someone who does everything his own way ?

[@rubbersole79]

Jr. Brown should be the CMA Entertainer of the Year.........EVERY YEAR!!

[@lightfoot413]

Now thats a working man and band..cant touch that...great talent!!!

[@Sluggo01]

Bucket list to see Junior……gotta see this guy ….this is great MUSIC

[@uppastdawn7627]

You won’t regret it. He’s great live.

[@guymartin8167]

Love. Some Junior🎸🎸🎸🎼🎵❤️❤️✌🏼✌🏼

[@StayBill1992]

Junior is a class act! So unique! Wish we had more great music like this nowadays!

[@kevinoverall4640]

I introduced a friend of mine who only listened to rock to junior brown music and now he loves him.

[@terrymills6281]

one of kind---great voice and musical talent

[@JamesBrown-yr6cx]

THERE HAS BEEN MURDER ON MUSIC ROLL, BUT JUNIOR BROWN AND OTHERS STILL MAKE IT HAPPEN TO MAKE REAL COUNTRY MUSIC.

[@marcoraimondi4266]

Many Moons ago, I had tickets for Jeff Beck at the Chicago theater the same evening Junior Brown was playing at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn. I went to see Junior Brown at Fitzgerald''s in Berwyn!!!

[@decentamerican7156]

Back in 1995 I wandered into a free concert on the Santa Monica Pier of all places and it was Jr Brown! - I was hooked !

[@timgallagher1041]

Junior is one of the rarest artists - completely unique -can't think of someone who is even somewhat similar

[@Mr1963corvette]

What an icon in the world of music. . From that smooth, rich, deep and penetrating baritone voice. To his prolific picking and riffs making that Gitsteel walk and talk. It is pure musical magic to one's ears. He is the consummate musician and singer.

[@thomasmoore8142]

well said...

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Sounds like Ernest Tubb.

[@Hear4Metallica]

AND one of the best hat creases ever.

[@lionelkirbyshire7683]

Wow, great stuff. What a performance.

[@jdion79]

Junior Brown played the Opry??? This dude... amazing, grinding musician.

[@VidarLund-k5q]

This is real country music. Today's country music is only CMINO, Country Music In Name Only.

[@chuckwhite3942]

There are not too many truly original musicians out there and JB is for me, the best of the best of them. If you took the DNA of Jimi Hendrix and Ernest Tubb and mixed them, you would have JB. The man is a genius...

[@allenkendall3412]

That's the perfect description of JB! Gotta love such a raw talent and one of a kind!

[@samuelfanning7344]

i agree S one of a kind

[@0017Bulldog]

You made this comment 10 years ago...and I hope you're still around to hear how on the spot it was...fantastic.

[@herberthinton1499]

This fellow is an absolute magician with that instrument. I like the sound and his music as well.

[@flamencoprof]

I'm from New Zealand, and yes, there are Country fans here. I'm not, in general, but I do think Junior Brown is one of the best guitarists the USA has ever produced. I never knew he played the Opry, awesome!

[@Cajunman1977-k3f]

Men and he does this with his wife in the band. Amazing

[@charger19691]

Junior Brown is a national treasure!

[@guztavomartinez1776]

Glad you’re still with ùs Junnior, one of the greatest!

[@joey_bonin]

Man, there are some sterling blues licks in there. I love the way he starts singing right on time, on key, in the middle of a guitar lick. Junior is a throwback to when country music had personality and style.

[@jameshelm2561]

Mix rock-a-billy, with traditional country, with Texas swing, with 50's rock n roll and you get the one and only Junior Brown !!!!!!!!

[@thetreblerebel]

Unique cat

[@jamesorvis4605]

But his blues feel is sooo deep! Truly fun to see someone be themselves!

[@MrSanteeclaus]

You forgot surf music

[@lisaengle6678]

Junior Brown rocks!

[@bigorange000]

Nailed it.

[@tawakoni56]

Most people cant see what a woderful player,singer and upright folk. Top nothch country

[@Geno5]

Junior is amazing

[@azraelblick4117]

Junior Brown is one of the greatest of all time.

[@hornetscales8274]

Reminds me of being 8 years old, roaming the trailer court on my big-wheel, and suddenly hearing "Hawaiian music", and suddenly we all "cut a big donut across the whole street and blow a big jump across the speed-bump", my ears led me to an old guy who lived across the street. Seen him before, saw his HUGE car (some old early 70's Cadillac, I think: Lost Navy aircraft kept trying to land on it, it was so big! And this on the eastern border of Kansas!) and suddenly he's sitting outside playing steel guitar, as if it's just a normal thing people do!. My friends and I froze. We sat there leaned up against his chain-link fence just watching and listening. It was something to hear! Wish to hell I could talk to the guy now! Still, hearing this spurs old memories into sticking around, and that alone is worth it. Bonus: Junior Brown is also good at his picking!

[@shaunsayre8520]

I recommend everyone look up Junior Brown with the Beach Boys preforming "409" next!! That video definitely kicks ass, and hearing that the beach boys gave him a standing ovation afterwards was awesome. You can see them smiling during the video, like "holy shit!!" smiling 🙂

[@AB-bg1or]

I saw him a few years back with the Blasters, Reverend Horton Heat and Big Sandy. Very talented dude.

[@Reversibleband]

An excellent line up! I saw him with Reverend Horton Heat as his backup band not too long ago…another great show. Does Junior Brown EVER have a bad show though? 😝

[@tonyn152]

That must have been an amazing show. The Blasters are one of my very favorite bands too!

[@kmcwhq]

Junior OWNS the Gitsteel Knockout talent and class act

[@jamesdavis5096]

He don’t own this one anymore this is a big red and it was stolen so I’ll be on the lookout for big red

[@Mr1963corvette]

What a virtuoso musician Junior with that rich, deep baritone voice of his while making both that Telecaster and steel guitar walk and talk. I absolutely enjoy watching his lovely wife strumming hard on that acoustic guitar. Junior Brown is a national treasure.

[@Asherblueprint]

Austin in late 80s 90s and 2000s Jr played in Austin . I must went to the continental 1000 times to watch the show with so many more...

[@msoiseth3419]

Junior Brown is a national treasure. I loved the drummer slappin' the brushes!

[@joe6096]

Man do I miss the old Nashville Network. This was the best stuff.

[@boston12111]

A friend came to work one day talking about a guitar picker he saw last night playing a double neck guitar and I said, " Junior Brown." He was flabbergasted that I knew who it was. Love to see him pick.

[@timosullivan292]

Stunning player so brilliant love all his music superb musician .

[@marxlures]

Jr. Brown------------toooooo coooooooooolllllll,,,,,,not too many others can pick like he does,,,,and to me I love THAT VOICE!,,,,,,,,Roy Clark can pick as well------But I love to here Brown sing a song,,,,,,

[@Cking64]

Junior brown incredible entertainment

[@tulsatombob2769]

I got to fill in on upright bass for Junior Brown's bass player in Tulsa back in 2003. It was a great experience, and his wife is really cool and a great rhythm player. Actually, his "lovely wife-Tanya Mae Brown", really kept things in the pocket. The band in this video is great, especially the drummer...he killed it!

[@steverutherford7378]

very cool !

[@Xcorgi]

You're a lucky man! Junior Brown is a MEGA TALENT! And for all the younger people who aren't aware, his music is REAL COUNTRY! Not that Toby Keith, Garth Brooks "new country" watered down bullshit that started in the 90's and now needs to die a quick death!

[@ldunbar4131]

Tulsatom Bob I

[@kanyeguisada788]

That's too cool, were you that familiar with all his songs that you mostly nailed it? Any flubs you remember heh? I'm from San Antonio, and one night in the late 90's when he played at the legendary Floore Country Store in Helotes (just NW of San Antonio), the same drummer from this video (who'd I seen twice previously) with that hilariously minimal drum kit suddenly according to Junior's announcement fell ill that evening. It just so happened to turn out that the person who opened up for Junior that night, the motherfucking Texas legend Johnny Bush, just happened to have played drums in his early days enough that he never lost it, and knew Junior's catalog to pull it off so impressively that the house came down for both Junior and Johnny that night when the show was over, such an epic show to have witnessed.

[@Swingtheorygainesville]

very cool

[@packrat2473655]

This is one of the best blues songs EVER … junior brown is just amazing. Showmanship out the wazooo …. And the chops on the guitsteel ….. son……… all I can saw is wow… and what an easy gig for a drummer. lol

[@ledwallet1944]

Very cool guitar....

[@douglascoleman5416]

The man is so underrated. PURE TALENT...

[@maskedmoron]

Simply Awesome, I love the song he did with my late friend Hank Thompson called "Sell them chickens". Never seen anyone could play a guitar as good as this man here!!

[@solominded]

Extremely unique sound, one of a kind artist. His wife is an extremely talented rythum guitarists. Props to both of them.

Applause in the first 30 sec at the Grand ole Opry, I'd say he won their respect.

[@jerryfield5815]

That is the best drummer that I have ever heard with Junior.

[@Yelloyote]

Saw him around 20 yrs ago in Union Maine. If you can, get to a show n see him.

[@gblueslover8807]

THIS GUY IS A PHENOM !!! WHAT A TALENT !

[@Satchmoeddie]

I drove 10 hours one way to see Jr. play at a small town called Palisades Colorado which is near where my father grew up. I'd do it again. Some fools pay $2000 to see some pop star center stage front row. $55 and $800 for gas and a rental car, and I still have the better deal! To see young people cheer when a song from 1928 is played is a real kick too.

[@jmshaw357]

Tanya was looking great here! Yoww! Jr is a lucky guy and he plays real good too.

[@nwjones1]

I always like how musicians introduce their band. Alot of people don't.
