Junior Brown - My Wife Thinks You're Dead (Video)

Classic video.

[@becausehelivesministryintl6841]

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.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Naw check out johnny highland he has without. A doubt been influenced by Junior brown Country music Has lamentably turned the way of The "Musical industrial complex " and. Produces. The product with a generic formula of all genre of music. And country is but one of the casualties. Of the pop music. Business model That believe only. Songs that follow the Template provided by the industry of 3-5 mins and thats the cut off. Beyond that Has. numerous. Such similar caveats . That is a. Supplement of the actual. Perfect or damn near quality. of excellence and think by. Supjmposing this filter of projection that they homogeneously put over like a blanket this doesn't help really do anything good it's only stands to highlight the things they don't want ​@@em7dim9

Thank You!! I never knew that 😊

[@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 ....

[@Anthony-yq7hk]

Too bad he didn’t hit it bigger. He can sure pick & sang!!!

[@dar4835]

Now, most of the "country" songs sounds like rock and rap.

[@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

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

[@Bestdogdad72]

He's amazing

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

[@trocouc]

+Carla DeLellis (Johnny D's Owner) Carla, you just made my day. The old landmark Johnny D's is still there in Davi's Square. I must be going crazy. I thought your place had closed like many others last year or so like the Middle East Cafe, TT's The Bear, etc... Now I'm no longer sure these two places also closed. Anyway I'm very happy Johnny's is still around. Maybe I'll see you there to thank you in person. I will bring friends with me who never heard Junior before and blow their minds.

[@carlad7841]

+Cassio Trocourt You are not going crazy. The old old Johnny D's in Brighton closed decades ago. My Johnny D's Uptown in Somerville (no relation to Brighton) is also closing and you did read about it I am sure. We are closing March 13 but I chased many of my fave performers and luckily this one just came in right in time before we close! See you there.

[@trocouc]

+Carla DeLellis (Johnny D's Owner) Now I am upset. Places like yours should not be allowed to close. Harvard Square 30 years ago used to be a great place with all kinds of hidden pubs and late hours pizza places. People to people real fun. Today thanks to Harvard University Harvard Square is just a big shopping mall. I am surprised the tobacco magazine fruit place on the corner of Battle next door to the Coop is still there (based on the last time I was there). I don't think it will be there much longer. Damn! I wanna go back to the 60's and 70's. Sorry but the 21st century really sucks!!!

It's good to see you baby it's been a long long while We're both a whole lot older and seen a lot of miles But thing are different now since the good ol days And youve been in some trouble Since we went our separate ways Well have to say hello maybe some other time instead Cause youre wanted by the police And my wife thinks youre dead. Somebody spread the rumor that you had lost your life Least thats the way I heard it and what I told my wife Now here youre showing up again and talk is getting round And I can see that one of us will have to leave this town If you think that I want trouble Than youre crazy in your head Cause youre wanted by the police And my wife thinks youre dead. You never called or wrote me just up and disappeared Nobody knew what happened Where you been for all these years Now troubles what youre lookin like Cause troubles where you been And I can see the kind of trouble you could get me in You better pay attention to every word I said Cause youre wanted by the police And my wife thinks youre dead. So goodbye to you baby Im glad weve got to talk But Im faithful to my wife and I dont ever break the law I dont know where youre headed for But I know where you been Were reminisced now lets just go our separate ways again Go find another ex-sweetheart to hang around instead Because youre wanted by the police And my wife thinks youre dead.
