Junior Brown, from a TNN series called
The Road in 1997.

[@azimuth361]

AND I respect the hell out of a guy who wears a coat and tie on stage. Classy, classy, classy.

[@DeannMcCutchen]

He also always has his wife playing guitar to his left. Always! Now that makes a statement girlfriend!!

[@Slowmodem1]

Junior Brown is one of the greatest guitarists ever. He has always been extremely under appreciated.

[@jimchumley6568]

Slowmodem1 That country boy shreds that thar" geetar!

[@tinicum54]

Jim Chumley F'in a right.

[@adrianmoore8840]

Slowmodem1 hell yes he has

[@stepitupandgo67]

fuck yes...he's beyond a guitarist really...sings very well too....and does both simultaneously very well...

[@DechantMusic]

Because America is Tone Deaf... A Talentless rip off artist is on top of the world, Bruno Mars. hows that for proof that America has lost the ability to know true talent. Junior Brown Forever!

[@adamtimrud7989]

I just adore how he interpolates all of these Hendrix quotes in his own killer instrumental. God bless Junior Brown! :-)

[@LodoGrdzak]

You know her cranks up the distortion and rocks that Hendrix when he's at home.

[@jamesgibbs3446]

i just said that then saw what you said. great minds think alike

[@troynov1965]

Best guitarist alive today in my opinion. He has to be ambidextrous.

[@meanmikebojak1087]

they don't show his feet he's doing pedal work too.

[@FrancescoAlcozer]

His idea of combining two guitars with different sound tones is very ingenious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5iblKZ7nciBg80 *ROADHOUSE BOOGIE* Twangy Guitar cover by *Duane Eddy*

[@chezruss]

Great! Jimi Hendrix goes country - Junior Brown is so talented.

[@Vodichka9]

You think this guy sounds good on the little computer screen on youtube? See and hear him LIVE! One of the best performers I've ever seen- and I've seen a lot of great musicians over the decades.

[@PhilFeedback]

Great song and video! I’ve seen Junior Brown in concert several different times over the years. And we got to meet him once in Nashville

[@hydrocutty]

junior brown is the buckethead of country/bluegrass music-both are very very talented guitarist-love them both ;)

[@johnnyp8979]

AMEN. ! Someone who listens to good/great guitarists you also 💪 ! No fried CHICKIN' sponsored phenomenal guitar player(if you havta ask..🙄) and JUNIOR BROWN... TWO (2) above the rest. 👍

[@deannacabrera634]

I just discovered Jr. Brown about a year ago. Boy was I missing out. He is a bad ass on that guitar. Love it!!

[@ovationpdh]

This guy is such an original. Super musician, and just so damn COOL!

[@frankmcclenton7064]

That brother knows he can make it talk! Love his music! God bless you always.

[@mosriteminioncause7741]

He is a true Genius and STILL remains a Highway phantom amongst the Greats. If I listed all the guitarist he out performs... people would send me hate mail till doomsday!!!😜🎸🤠

[@kristophermathis8584]

Junior could join any band in any genre of music and instantly make said band 110% better.

[@LawkSmyth]

i got the pleasure of seeing Junior Brown open up for the Reverend Horton Heat here in Los Angeles some years back still one of my favorite concerts.

[@richirvine4519]

He's one of the best I've gone out to see.

[@glen7695]

... and he's even better now!! Junior's playing incorporates so many elements--chicken pickin', Hendrix, steel guitar--that it defies description. Amazing.

[@brianrhoades6660]

I love the references to Manic Depression, Third Stone From the Sun and The Wind Cries Mary from Hendrix. Dude can bring it.

[@ninemilesgtrplayer]

Brian Rhoades did you catch power to love from Band of Gypsys at the beginning?

[@brianrhoades6660]

I did... one of my all time favorites.

[@davidwatson]

Brian Rhoades Gypsy Eyes also ............wow

[@simplejones4364]

+Brian Rhoades I heard the opening from rainy day as well

[@tinicum54]

Brian Rhoades and, he makes it look easy.

[@lenahc1987]

Texas music at its best courtesy Junior Brown! God Bless TEXAS!

[@bobwhite5440]

Junior needs to consider adding a forced-air cooling system to his guit-steel instrument to prevent the possibility of spontaneous combustion and meltdown.

[@peterney2402]

I'm in my 60s, first I have ever heard of him. Where have I been all this time !

[@RonHmo]

Saw him twice here in St Louis. Never disappoints!

[@kristophermathis8584]

Ain't nobody alive can pick like junior!

[@mikeg6311]

That's true because Roy Clark is dead.

[@timothyplonk4266]

Real deal talent here. To me Juniot is so underrated its criminal. Back when country music had individual sounds and not like today's country : most every band sounds the same and most female singers sound like their whining.

[@RonHmo]

Best since Hank Garland wrote this one. What a treat to hear!

[@skydiveNY]

I saw Jr Brown as an opening act @ the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Vegas. He opened for some other act that opened for Alan Jackson. I was a bartender, and had to leave my post to see who the fuck this was. I wasn't a country fan until I saw him playing; my thought was "who the fuck is this country dude palying rock and roll?" amazing.

[@The_Osprey]

I'm not a guitar playing aficionado but I can't stop listening to this.

[@wjniemi]

The best Hendrix quotes I've ever heard, hands down. I love the Sugarfoot played like this!

[@daniel60297]

he´s authentic,nice sound,just he is awesome

[@Forevertrue]

Ain't nobody out there with more talent than Junior!

[@deeremeyer1749]

Nod to Jimi at the end. Outstanding.

[@nedflanders5302]

Junior is a beast!

[@aloisemason3044]

No doubt about it..Junior Brown is the lead and the legend he is ..has taken total control on his strings and cords to send you out the rhythem Your so desperately deserving of hearing..great band..

[@MrGoodknight2010]

Junior Brown is a wild man! He may be the best guitarist in the U.S. Clapton should invite him to the next Crossroads Festival. Maybe not. Junior would, of course, steal the show!! And yes I agreed he snuck a Jimi lick in that song. Junior Da Man!

[@stevemccoy6744]

Keep bending those strings Junior I love it

[@stecklein7]

My all time FAVE!!! Of Juniors.....for like 20 years or more now?

[@garycarroll9056]

Junior Brown, Big Brad Paisley and Keith Urban? Man what a session with Guitars and vocals

[@darrellsomers5427]

Replace Keith with viene gill

[@Frombonics]

Yep he has been one of my biggest inspirations, I made my slides to get the best of both worlds. I have seen this guy in a few places way back when, myself a few people, he put on an amazing show, he can rip and also pretty nice guy.

[@fr3rdsky]

So that’s how it sounds when you mix Garland and Hendrix together 👍🏽

[@FrancescoAlcozer]

I think that each guitarist expresses his style which, perhaps, resembles that of another, but is only a vague similarity. Greetings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIO0qKtupZd9fdk *ROCKABILLY* Gibson Guitar in the style of *Paul Pigat*

[@vincentbuccieri9305]

Two Unusual Contrasting Influences , Hendrix and Roy Clark , Interesting!

[@SGTJDerek]

Under appreciated Artist.

[@deeremeyer1749]

Performing in suits. Pure class.

[@allenray275]

Can't listen to it without tapping my foot!

[@ks-zc1jh]

haha! I am totally tapping my foot right now too.

[@davidstone2820]

A deaf guy would tap his foot when Junior plays!!

[@goodun2974]

@@davidstone2820 , a * dead* guy would as well!

[@Weissmenchland]

The feller can burn the strings. I have seen him a number of times at the Continental Club in Austin and at other spots in Dallas. This old boy does it right.

[@richardblystone2828]

junior brown bad ass

[@Ondelay]

Happy Birthday Junior Brown

[@shadowjack8]

Oh hell yea! Ain't no moss growing on that stone.

[@cbcsjc]

...and the Jimi outtro too! A little Wind Cries Mary tease at the end :)

[@fluxdoll]

Love the Hendrix quote in the middle! Guy rocks.

[@stratowhore9051]

And some quotes from Jimi's "Manic Depression" again on the top guitar.

[@transcan321]

alexdroogie, his borrowings from rock are a compliment !

[@darktalon2gnt]

Guit-Steel baby! Jr. is my hero!

[@timcole3402]

greatest guitar solo ever!!!

[@ThatAnnoyingGuyFrom]

He covered it, he didn't steal it.

[@MsSHAN41]

the guy just rocks!♥

[@jamesallen6220]

Appreciate what you see, people like Junior Brown don't show up too often.

[@constancemiller3753]

Every time I see Junior I look at my watch 'cause time moves faster in his hands.

[@FatherRikhi]

@AnhMak Thank you, I thought I was having a flashback. I'm just discovering this country twang stuff and man it's just mind blowing......

[@garyharris1932]

Brown is an excellent musician and he is an entertainer. Name any other guitarist and ask yourself, "Is he entertaining" most are not entertaining.

[@paulmarsh8974]

Roy Clark was brilliant... both entertainer an guitarist... Glen Cambell, Jerry Reed and Jim Stafford were others in that category..

[@kellen45]

amazing....rocking out on the guitar he made himself

[@Deathnote1991]

ITS LIKE THE CANON ROCK OF COUNTRY

[@101Volts]

It opens up new ways to make music, That's how crazy! Crazy good!

[@vinnothelizard]

nobody better !! genius !!

[@markrankin3117]

outstanding

[@goodun6081]

the only other guitarist I can think of who so brilliantly and musically meshes various different musical themes, Melodies and riffs into just one song was Danny Gatton. Rest in peace Danny we hardly knew ye.

[@Jm01394]

Taking Classic Country to the Jimi Hendrix limit . Yes it can be done !!! As Jr. DID!!!

[@cyclemaster46]

Junior Brown has them all covered !!!!!!!!

[@G7flat5]

Hi Garland family! Hank was cool!! His stuff is so hip guys are using Hanks riffs and licks in 2009 and beyond!

[@pdubsuw]

Got that 2 o'clock fog....blast some Junior Brown!

[@amaurythewarrior]

not that i know much about this style of music, but this is one of my favourite versions of the song so far !

[@torgo714]

DAMN that boy can play. I have seen Junior many times but never the lovely Tanya Rae. He never fails to entertain. Talk about a guy who knows how to play that thing and not is all flash and volume. ROCK JUNIOR!!!!!! Gotta love the drummers and his massive kit, LOL

[@neurofire]

Junior breaks all the rules. Wow! I'd like to see the metal grunge folk tackle Sugarfoot Rag - it's the entry tune to the hall of giants. And he's fun to watch. Playful and gifted.

[@vincentfreeman4808]

Check out John 5's version

[@Mrfunkyfilmore]

I have a longer version of this on a 45rpm. No matter what the length, this song is great!!!!!

[@speedracer2336]

Junior would be a superb heavy metal guitarist!

[@briannabuurs1821]

He plays a bit of a a Hendrix solo(correct me if i am wrong) from a song called driving South on the album Radio One at about the 2-minute mark. This guy is great. Too bad I found out about him so late.

[@Mrfunkyfilmore]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

[@LodoGrdzak]

Man, you just know this guy plugs in the distortion when he's home alone and Rocks that Jimi!!!!!

[@AUdioHipster]

Hey Junior is going to be in AThens Ga this month 8/18/2012 at the Melting Point, saw'ed him at the Freebird in Jacksonvile beach FL, just amazing to see... hope to be there... they also have Rochefort 10 in the bottle ... only 9 bucks... unbelievably good. Cheers

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I guess drumming behind Junior all you need is a snare. Killer

[@NintendoSinceBirth1]

@AnhMak you can hear the hendrix inspiration in his soloing too its amazing

[@yamahale]

the Jimi Hendrix of Country!

[@obizzil]

grease spot baby..jr brown rocks

[@johnnyboync1]

i've seen him twice in asheville nc and the two shows just kicked ass!! i saw him both times at "be here now", a pretty small place. he was so good with the crowd. i'd love to see him again>

[@mr.warmth1511]

his wife plays a hell of a rythim guitar

[@troynov1965]

Yes she does !

[@brustdiesel]

mr. warmth and she is am absolute doll!

[@D.Hood56]

Yeah she’s killing it right along with him!! Hell of a combo

[@restlessinamsterdam]

When will this man come and do shows in Tne Netherlands, this is not just great, it is SUPER... love it.

[@mclive29]

GO Junior! GO Junior!

[@brentruss2168]

He's some sort of wizard

[@vandrahealy2227]

Junior's wife should get the Rose Lee Maphis Award for pounding that rhythm guitar.

[@BenSHammonds]

one foot, two foot, three foot drag, dance your honey to the sugar foot rag

[@merc0049]

Junior is the best. I like the Jimi Hendrix Power Of Soul intro. He also quotes Hendrix's Third Stone From The Sun. There's no one like Junior. He sings great too..... MERC

[@TheSanityInspector]

I love all the different version of The Sugarfoot Rag on YT.

[@MrGrxxx123]

JR. is the man! he would teach yoda to play guitar!!.....if yoda wanted to learn

[@roojoo]

THE SICKEST

[@12gauge1oz]

Unbelievable.

[@mpetersen6]

In the future Juinors two guitsteels better be hanging one in the Rock n Roll hall of fame and the other in Country's. Hands down he is the best guitar player on the planet. There is not anything or genre he can not play and master.

[@whippedboy]

WOW! I don't even like this kind of music but this is awesome!

[@jamesgibbs3446]

he is the jimi hendrix of country

[@BillyGarland]

Dear friend of the Legendary Guitarist Hank Sugarfoot Garland !

[@stratowhore9051]

Man, he started off with a DIRECT quote from Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys album on the top guitar -- Power of Soul! Fuck me!

[@HOSSMCGILLICUTTI]

That poor woman having to strum that fast and that long, to keep with Jr.

[@paul29671]

+HOSSMCGILLICUTTI I think she's his wife- she's used to it!

[@RebelRacer70]

I was thinking the same thing lol.

[@oriolesandravens]

yeah his wife. I saw them in concert at Pier 6 in Baltimore opening up for the Mavericks in 96 (?)

[@keithcolledge1976]

Holy shit!!! Would I have loved to see THAT show.
