Junior Brown performs "Hang Up And Drive" Live on the Texas Music Scene

[@lughlamhfada2523]

Chuck Norris was asked in an interview, what he wanted to be when he grew up. He replied, "Junior Brown".

[@limpitmine7119]

I can understand why Chuck Norris would rather be someone else.

[@budelmore6286]

Saw that interview

[@lisamartin3798]

That's too bad . Why say that?

[@aschule5684]

That's awesome Chuck is actually a very cool person and a "badass"

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

Junior Brown is a national treasure.

[@mannyaldama2450]

they need this song played on every radio station across the US

[@dankmazzi2376]

It mite hurt people's feelings..truth hurts. 🤣🤡

[@donphillips5957]

I listen to this guy and wonder how we arrived at what passes for country music today.

[@philmanson2991]

One of America's GREAT performers that not enough people know about!! A national treasure, fer sure!

[@terrieladow6423]

Just sent this to my son who is 26years old and never listened to him

[@teray45]

This my friends is PURE talent! No auto correct! No dubs...Junior Brown,The Edward Van Halen of rockabilly

[@geraldhector2743]

Junior is his own man brother😅 he is a clone of no one !just Junior,😮

[@davidgo8874]

This should be in a public service announcement in every city and town.

[@machtschnell7452]

Junior and Tanya are Texas treasures.

[@merlynschutterle7242]

Not only can he play, but he has a great voice. For those who gave a thumbs down , let's see you try this,

[@VidarLund-k5q]

Singing and playing very complicated melodies perfectly is incredibly complicated.

[@brianmccarthy5557]

From surf music to rockabilly it doesn't get any better than Junior Brown! He sold his chickens before they died and the eggs before they hatched.

[@HenauderTitzauf]

I know there are lots of good people in the Country Hall of Fame, and I hope this man gets in. He deserves it, great talent, great songs!

[@thememoryhole9355]

He should be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame .. he's more of a rocker than most of the fakes they induct.

[@mrsamzero1]

Amen.

[@timgallagher1041]

Hard to put Junior in a box He is one of a kind - in a good way😄

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Never heard of Jr. Brown until I hit the road and drive cross country from NJ to Washington in 11/98. Around Missoula, Montana I was scanning around on my car stereo for something good and they were playing I Hung It Up ?.....man that was really something

[@johnnichols6618]

I saw Junior a few years back at the Bluebird in Denver and I mean he completely peeled the wallpaper off the joint! He shucked the corn down to the cobb! What a great guitar player. After the show we were standing out front by his bus and he just came out and I talked with him for about a minute. He's a real straight up nice guy!

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Cool! Used to live in Denver and go to the bluebird all the time… Wish I was there!

[@dcntexas3]

I love how his wife looks over at Jr. while playing and smiles. He entertains her also. How cool the 2 being able to travel and play together.

[@mrkrud]

I was wondering if this is a family band and the rhythm section are their sons

[@tonyhemingway7980]

I was thinking the same thing, when I saw the expression on her face.

[@patrickcannady2066]

It's wonderful. I hope they can do it for a really long time and never get tired of each other.

[@GreatLakesLogger]

Great to see an example of someone willing to put in the work to make a marriage work👍

[@gregm6894]

I just don't think Junior would be complete without Ms. Tanya at his side. She adds great vocals and plays a pretty mean rhythm guitar in her on right. She's a classy lady in my book.

[@TXmusicTV]

Junior Brown is flat out fantastic. No one does anything like this guy can.

[@TXmusicTV]

No one can do what Junior Brown can do!!

[@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426]

Danny Gatton, Scotty Anderson, Jimmy Bryant, Hank Garland, Les Paul, Jerry Reed, Brent Mason, Richard Smith....

[@tonioreyes]

and we are very thankfull for that. what a clown....

[@89goldtop]

He's a champion.

[@RandumbR6Clips]

Sandy cheeks can

[@machtschnell7452]

So all these guys 0lsy a Guit-steel as well? I will have to check that.

[@rabokarabekian409]

JB is six of the top ten guitarists alive today.

[@TheRealCreepinogie]

Yeah he is. Probably top 5.

[@joe6096]

This is everything my soul needed to feel whole again. God bless Junior Brown for everything. For keeping country country. For the sounds of a Fender Telecaster AND a steel slide guitar, for writing a song that might be funny but definitely is a good message, but most of all for making real music when everyone else in country is making garbage!!! Thank you Mr Brown!!

[@jeffbeck6501]

Junior Brown represents the best of Texas. He has total control of what he is doing, and what he does is so damn good. Hats off the Junior Brown. I think he was the best of anything even close to that style. He was perfect.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

One of the greatest guitarists of all time, bar none. And this coming from a pure rock guy. Love Junior.

[@yamillopez-6594]

Un cordial saludo desde Cuba 🇨🇺..una música muy bella y un exelente músico Junior Brown...mis respetos para el... bendiciones

[@rumbleroadrecords9045]

Junior Brown is one of my very favorites...

[@neverjethot]

I set a Junior Brown Pandora station after hearing this, practically every track gets a thumbs up. What a talent.

[@TEXASFENDERBENDER]

One of the most amazing LIVE Musicians you will ever see. This Cat puts out more energy alone than most entire Bands do together. When he is in the zone there has never be anyone better.

[@stevemuscrat1940]

yep

[@gary15761]

You need to get out more

[@machtschnell7452]

Junior can stand with anyone on stage from a talent and technique point.

[@OverlandOne]

This song should be a number 1 hit today! Just look at all the accident caused by people texting. Damn!

[@gordmusgrave5188]

how can yu thumbs down Junior?what planet are yu from ? Junior is inn a class of his own people!!

[@UberBeavis]

He's always done his own thing, I really appreciate that.

[@suredudesure]

What just happened? During that guitar solo I got blown away. That picking was the best I've ever.seen.

[@thomaskielty3621]

The Cowboy Dude that Cranked Surf Tunes

[@TheScmtnrider]

I'm an old 70s-80s metal fan, living in California, and even I can appreciate how awesome this is! Thank you. 👍

[@preciousmetalhead5155]

You’re not the only one brother. 🤘🏻♠️🤘🏻

[@78tag]

Absolutely - he can kick ass on everything from acid-rock-blues to drippin' surf - sometimes in the same song!

[@78tag]

@John LaFever - I realize this isn't world-shattering and is probably in good humor but - he wasn't saying he was 70 - 80 years old and it also isn't a good idea to make generalized statements such as - "most people". Then you go on to say "Don't feel bad" like you are the purveyor of what age-appropriate is and whether we should feel good about ourselves because you said so? What facts are you drawing that from? Why is this a "Highlighted Reply"? I know people in their 70's that still love METAL and JR's style of music but I don't say "most people" just because I know a few, and I certainly don't try to tell them whether it's OK or not. I can say this - JR is awesome.

[@78tag]

@John LaFever ......as he moves on to defend and define his right to be presumptuous....

[@rickrutledge9363]

I love Metallica, Pink Floyd, and Jr. Brown!!!!

[@cosmicsunbeams]

❤ Junior Brown ❤

[@ADOTlied]

single handidly carrying on legendary country music, no one alive touches this guy!

[@gordon4385]

Try Dale Watson.

[@kainhall]

@@gordon4385 i was just about to say, sir...... dale watson KICKS ASS!!!! . ill listen to some led zep....zz top.... then some 2pac.... then some dubstep but neil young, dale, and Jr....... its part of my soul

[@inneedofsupervisionshawn7269]

I use to watch Dale at the Black Cat Lounge on Thursday nights Then watch Junior on Sunday evenings off of congress.

[@machtschnell7452]

Dale is a great balladeer, but when it comes to playing, Junior is in another universe.

[@JhaeMo777]

Mr Brown is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, everything about all his performances are so fluid , technical and FUN .....truly one of the best EVER!! Even if you do not like country/rockabilly etc he engages and captivates with how true of a showman & such a wonderfully amazing an entertainer ....FANTASTIC 🎸

[@chasetams8963]

This is crucial to the world and the people!!!

[@chasetams8963]

He ain’t saying it for no reason

[@wjniemi]

My zebra finches loved the steel lick at the end. I, however, loved the whole thing. ❤

[@lewiemcneely9143]

If you drive a truck in the hills in the summer you will be YELLING this song!

[@kenmiura2706]

When he does his solos, my jaw drops and I just worry about his Wife's Job Security.

[@robertcraig156]

Junior Brown designs his own inturments. He's an amazing artist... he has another guit peddle steel..

[@TXmusicTV]

I think you can rest assured Junior Brown will continue to create his unique brand of music for a long, long time.

[@rawhydemusic8620]

I had the pleasure of meeting Junior 11 years ago now. Such a great musician and a nice person to meet as well

[@ebay9302]

Nothing like two 6L6s and two JBLs...Chop Chop!

[@KB6YAF]

Junior Brown.....you are the best sir! I ALWAYS love your artistry on your guitars and vocals. You make me smile. ......Russell D.

[@crlguitar1]

Awesome guy....Had the honor to meet him in Grants Pass Oregon a few years ago.

[@Mr1963corvette]

This man is a true icon of country music from his witty lyrics and that absolute stellar and unique sounds that he gets out of that Telecaster and that steel guitar combination, the Guit-Steel. From that rich, classic sounding baritone voice of his, to his charismatic showmanship. This man and his lovely wife are a treasure and a national asset in the field of country music. There are very few artists that are so spectacular and entertaining in the world of music as Junior Brown is. He is akin to the late, great James Brown or B.B. King as he generates such energy and excitement to the fans who are fortunate to watch and listen to him perform.

[@daryljay7057]

Splendid doggerel! "Nappin' & Yappin'" is so great! Seriously, words to live by!

[@2refinish]

Love Junior Brown! (Nice little tip o' the hat to Asleep at the Wheel, too, which was classy.) : )

[@DeHuwite]

Western swing was here way before them, although they did it nicely. Check out Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

[@dangarrison3503]

Al Hall Bob who?

[@TXmusicTV]

He is pure Texas. He probably lives on Whataburger. That has to be the fuel that drives those insane chops!!

[@mnfrench7603]

The Texas Music Scene TV Doctor Pepper or Shiner?

[@revchadbrooks]

mn french lone star

[@lcj9564]

It's the awesome Whataburger Spicy Ketchup.

[@ericadoss2959]

And Dr pepper baby!⭐

[@markbarrow220]

Awesome talent. I love Highway Patrol. He not only belongs in the Country Hall of Fame, he belongs in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame as well.

[@notacommie5415]

Don’t even know how I ended up here and don’t even really get into country music. I’m an 80s rock guy..but. This guy can play a clean guitar and sounds good doing it.

[@78tag]

There's no one like him. I wish I had heard him much sooner in my life. I only caught up to him at the halfway point.

[@chuckstewart7331]

They had the comments turned off on your New Git- steel video , Junior, it was great to see you, and you ( Steel) still being be you .

[@toddclayton4125]

Yes sir. Totally agree with you. He's awesome. Would love to see him live

[@lcj9564]

Country Music Guitar players I feel are overlooked or not given the credit they deserve.

[@Home12031962]

Yes i know your right TexasFenderBender Junior Brown is One of the most amazing LIVE Musicians you will ever see. This Cat puts out more energy alone than most entire Bands do together. When he is in the zone there has never be anyone better.

[@LyricTenor85]

Nothing i could say that hasnt already been said in these comments. This man is in a class by himself.

[@haroldcromack1065]

Junior is a an incredible guitarist 👍🇺🇸 love his music

[@miguelolmedo3492]

Gracias junior Brown

[@johnburt7805]

Can't get enough of the Incredibly talented Junior Brown !!

[@thetreblerebel]

Junior has kind of always been a lone wolf.. hired bands, gal rythm guitar player. Under the radar. But those who know him, know he's good!

[@lawrenceklein4918]

Gotta' be one of the very best live acts around... For the past several decades! Junior and Company never fail to nail it!! 10 out of 10!

[@larryn2682]

The main line of that song would be a great ringtone!!!

[@7viewerlogic670]

Great song!

[@ciwanicha]

texas surf music..love it!

[@SoloPilot6]

Those boundaries are about to be stretched again, as Luna Lee will be a guest artist at his Dallas show tomorrow night, playing a traditional Korean instrument -- in very NON-traditional ways -- beside Junior's Guit-Steel for a performance that I wish I could see!

[@TXmusicTV]

Thats a pretty high bar to set for yourself. The guy is like a force of nature!!

[@spacecadet4876]

How cool is this...... An American treasure for sure.

[@morbels]

Good lord, I just saw this for the first time and I am grateful.

[@joemeyer6876]

Deep Respect for Ray Benson and this Series.

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Junior is real country. Like the traditional artists. But adds a lot of flavor to the genre.

[@daveblevins3322]

Excellent start to my day 🔥🔥🙏👍 Thank you Junior 👍🇺🇸

[@Dmckmaw]

I saw junior brown open for ZZ Top 25 years ago in Shreveport la. The headliners were upside down.

[@BoomerBends]

You HAVE to see this guy live if you ever get a chance. He's amazing. His Hendrix inspired distorted guitar stuff toward the end of his shows is off the hook cool.

[@rjr1227]

lololol....what a FANTASTIC song......I need to just play this for my wife....lolol

[@stuartdryer1352]

I've never heard of this guy before or seen him but this was freaking awesome.

[@allanhightower499]

Just saw you in Liberty NC . What a saw . My wish list is now complete. 😅😅

[@tinahedge5569]

Junior Brown, and my ass. The best Texas has, and the legends keep coming!🥰

[@slinginguitarman]

outside of texas.and with the exception of other musicians, this man is so underrated it should be a crime.trashville sux!

[@TXmusicTV]

How about it!! Let's spread the word. Junior Brown is a force of nature!!

[@michaelmunday7331]

[@kyzor-sosay6087]

Fantastic song,thanks Junior and the rest of the band.

[@luvmegan]

Saw Junior do two shows in Santa Cruz last night. Thank you to Junior and the band for a great night of incredible music.

[@441cessna]

A lot of Red Stovine in that song...I love it!

[@maxgains5426]

Oh hell yeah... Junior, great song and well done.

[@TXmusicTV]

That's what we like to hear!! I hope Junior thrilled the audience in Santa Cruz as much as he lights it up here in Texas!!

[@ADOTlied]

The pride of Cottonwood Arizona gettin it done

[@guyramey360]

I dig his music & love that guitar and he plays it like no other.

[@TXmusicTV]

This guy should have 100,000 thumbs up!!

[@davidkeith5377]

[@girliedog]

This guy has it all going on, so happy I got to see him perform when I visited Austin.

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Love me some Junior and Tanya Ray Brown!

[@urbanwikstrom9246]

Nice music! Big thanks to Missus Brown......! Cool guitar and great singing. Thanxxx!

[@sandraanderson6980]

My husband and I saw Junior Brown perform a few years ago at Schulenburg Texas and we have been fans ever since. I don't think anyone can play the guitar like he does. His songs are funny and entertaining!

[@elmell3643]

God Bless Texas and our music!

[@de7523]

I keep on singing it in my head. Over and over.

[@ArkRed1]

When did Tanya Rae start singing with him? She plays one mean rhythm guitar. Wonder if she uses medium or heavy strings? I'm sure Junior uses light gauge on his guitar to get all those bended notes. Looks like a eight stringed steel neck. Quite an outfit he's come up with. Very talented these two.

[@jeremydavia6006]

I love Junior! This guy has great live shows and does it his own unique way.

[@eliolopez3107]

Incredible guitar playing! Go Junior go!

[@wa1ufo]

Most Excellent!

I've been done in LOVE with this man for like 30 years..

[@ralphbruno8611]

he's awesome 🎉

[@thetreblerebel]

A GREAT guitar player!!

[@kenvarnold3659]

I've seen him twice in concert...so much fun...haven't heard him for a while though...
