Neat info! She was also in Venom Wearin' Denim.

Country needs more of juniors style of real conutry music. I could liesten to him all day long. A real guitar picker. Real talent

[@em7dim9]

People don't seem to care about the Roy Clarks or the Glen Campbells anymore. Only that artists can churn out autotuned pseudo-pop crap.

[@efreitorsroul9332]

yep. I am Ukrainian and I love Junior Brown. I guess, its just for the chosen people.

[@jim1842]

One of the smoothest guitar players that ever played, sad he’s not more popular.

[@erixrodriguez8]

force his music on people that's what I do lol

[@mikestand5163]

yep, and add unknown hinson :)

[@chadkline4268]

I think he's great 😊

[@jpb1231000]

All these PLAYERS and metal guys love him... Kinda like Buck Owens and The Beatles... The Beatles LOVED BUCK... Till Paul died and FAUL took over...

"My hat looks like a taco, and I don't give a rip...."

[@Actionguy1]

The reason I love Brown's music is because it sounds like REAL Country Music! Not like the crap they play on the radio these days. Brown's music is the type of Country I remember when I was a small child. What happened to that beautiful style?

[@jpb1231000]

Hip Hop ....

[@tch2rd2]

Okay I hope you're all happy. I watched this before going to bed. Then woke up with this song in my head. Later on proceeded to go to work and sing it in the halls (I am a teacher) as I did hall duty. School hallways have outstanding acoustics ...

[@roadking0073]

100% agree. I'm a janitor and I find the corner of the school's gym has the best sound early in the morning before anybody is in.

[@thinkfree652]

Don't know why I'm listening to this song in 2024; however, I'm going to play it again. I like it.

[@misscelanious4788]

I think Junior Brown is one of the most talented guitar players period! I love his music

[@MajBoot]

Fully!!!! Super smooth, (no finger sounds up the neck). Wish there was more of this CLASSIC sound

[@chrisgreene2405]

This guy is old school country and I love his twangy guitar

[@williamgolden839]

He brings a great 50's feel of country music

[@xxHouseInMotionxx]

@@williamgolden839 yeah its that Western swing... never grows old

[@erixrodriguez8]

and smoky smooth voice

[@sdubon7800]

But he can play surf music with the best of 'em...not a style he can't play!

[@Bestdogdad72]

He's amazing

[@ericjones3481]

I met him in 1997 at Merle Fest in Wilkesboro, NC. An extraordinarily polite man, and his talent is beyond belief. Country/western, rockabilly, and surf guitar. He has been a major influence in my playing. He also has a great sense of humor. Thanks Jr.

[@jpalberthoward9]

Everybody take a minute for a hats off and a Happy Birthday to Emmylou Harris on her 77th today.

I met Junior Brown 2005 summer concert series civic auditorium, abq., n.m. Good man.

[@122Music1]

Does this group ever fail to entertain with absolute positive results!? I Wish country music was country like this.. Thanks for the real deal J.B. & Band!!!

[@lamewarrior]

. The best country music I've heard in 40 years.

[@maryelam4101]

I love junior Brown and this song in particular. First time I’ve seen this video. Beyond classic!

[@fennis26]

I saw Junior and his band last night at the Mint in Hailey, Idaho. He still brings it! Tonya Rae and he have a great chemistry and great harmonies!

[@markriley24]

He has his own sound and it is throwback golden age rockabilly mixed with his invention........ Ahhhhhh, I can't describe it, I just know I love his sound. And seeing him live is a real experience!

[@cosmicsunbeams]

Love it ❤ The song,the video, Junior and Wife. Awesome!

[@DangerDuckAvengerDaffy]

I love the way how they put this video like an old-fashioned 1900's film with just music. I am not a music country music fan but I came across this song on the radio and I actually like this song. It is a good country song with a steel guitar.

[@Lolainaaa1]

fuck I think this guy has really been underrated! he's so funny and talented and fresh!

[@KuntryThiccc]

I haven’t heard this song in ages wow 🤩

[@tomshiba51]

Not only can he play that outstanding dual-guitar, Junior Brown can be funny as well.

[@jeffsmith3941]

He’s the greatest guitarist of my life, he’s simply all that and a bag of chips.

[@bigdave55b2]

Magnificent looking woman. Nose to nose the toes go...toes to toes the nose goes!

[@mikeg6311]

The song and video are hilarious and Junior Brown is a VERY underrated guitar player.

[@netrioter]

His wife is better than him. Not joking and he said it himself

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Underrated guitar player? Not in my book! Never mind the custom instrument that has both guitar AND slide… Show me one other musician who has THIS going on!🎸 Love you, Junior and Tanya Ray Brown!! PS - that is one hell of a funny video…

[@chipsterb4946]

@@BaconTomatoCheeseJunior Brown isn’t “under rated” by anyone who has touched a guitar and listened to him play for 30 seconds. And yes the “guitsteel” (at least I think that’s what he calls it) is pure genius.

[@CrackCrackCracker]

Years ago I was lucky enough to get to play with Junior at a small festival. I will always say it was honestly one of my most favorite things I've ever gotten to do. He was very nice and polite to talk with. And yes I was very intimidated with my level of guitar playing compared to his.

[@stealzero]

I can only imagine how awesome that would have been!

[@CrackCrackCracker]

@@stealzero I always thought I was a good guitar player. never once had any issues where I didn't feel like I was on top of my game. When Junior started playing I felt like I was just beginning to learn to play. I even went back to checking my finger placement chord wise. I was that so damn worried I was going to mess up. He was cool and told me "Good job man!" I bout nearly had a heart attack.

[@81kentboy]

Smoother than butter on glass 🎸

[@terryboren4186]

He always hits a home run. And ain't he never disappoints. Nice post

Just here for some cultural enrichment. God bless America 🇺🇸

[@catherinehalford1011]

Saw Jr. in concert a few months ago....he is incredible and yes, his tribute to Jimi Hendrix was phenomenal! He's so talented, even did a tribute to BB King who had just passed. Wish more people knew about him....his way with words and chords...wow!

[@bluesandcountry6096]

+Catherine Halford I have also seen him. Junior can play anything. And he sounds exactly like this live! Great voice and player.

[@jonnyrox116]

Each and every day I get my dose of Junior Brown....just sets my mind right!

JR is so under-appreciated- His biggest fans seem to be other very talented musicians.His wife is just *so* hot!

[@danmaltby3271]

+Bill Datz His wife is hot, but also just very fits the band, they are an ass kicking Hillbilly kung Fu team

[@ken481959]

Saw them in Harrisburg, Pa, last night with the Blasters and Horton Heat. He said they have been together for thirty years.

[@ericness9881]

Not even remotely a musician (let alone talented) but I've loved his music for years.

[@thwiftlythwept7023]

He seems to have a good reputation in the area. At least Rev Horton Heat and Jimbo are fans.

How stunningly funny and original! Great vocals, super inspired riffs - he just grabs and borrows from the past and plays it even better.

[@user-on6xv2or4l]

I love this GUY... !!!!!

[@TheFutureIsBright17]

Saw Junior Brown and Bob Dylan outside on a summer evening in a baseball field. One of the greatest concert ever! Stevie Ray Vaughan‘s brother was there with a really cute fiddle player from TX. Met Junior once in western WI as well. Almost forgot, got to see Junior Brown in Eau Claire Wisconsin for 20 bucks at the stones throw, medium size bar. So awesome! It’s like I just discovered Junior again just now. If you know, you know.

[@steveahah3495]

this guy is a trip . plays country like nobodys business then plays surfer music . i think he grew up with listening to the Ventures dang good too , anyway i like his style . Ever see his jimmy hendricks wholle shitzz he is somthing .

[@lynannmoore4547]

I saw Jr. in concert. It was so fun. After the concert we got to meet him. A young boy was in front of us. It was obvious he was sick. Jr. Brown was overwhelmed that he wanted his autograph and sighed his hat than took a picture. Such a nice man. One of the best ever.

1996 CMA Award for Video of the Year!! Hilarious!

[@asswhole455]

Haven't read all the other comments but I just gotta say that whoever directed this must have a deep knowledge/appreciation for the silent era...KUDOS on an excellent job! There are so many subtle (and accurate) bits of business that are clearly of this genre. Am astounded at Junior's funny antics and he somewhat reminds me of Buster Keaton in some mannerisms and wardrobe. Thoroughly enjoyable song AND video!

Seriously good video production. Its a shame today's music videos don't have as much thought put into them. Always a fan of Mr Brown.

Saw Junior just last night at a small club in Ma. What a great show! He almost plucked the strings off of that guit-steel he plays! He broke hs pick, threw it in the audience, then grabbed another & kept right on playing. Worth the money to see this guy in person if you get the chance.

It was our intro and exit between sets, I had never heard it anywhere else before, it ended with Secret Aggent Man, which I think was by the same guy who wrote 8 miles high, Johnny something, now I find he has great songs from the 90s.
