  • one bad mutha....shut yo mouth. junior brown is an amazing artist. his name should be ? instead of prince. LOL . junior is and always will be AWESOME, in my book

  • Just goes to show Junior's versatility. The mark of a truly talented musical artist. Not to mention that this is one killer medley.

  • Excellent post! I fully agree with the half time show comments. This video not only shows what a great musician Junior Brown is but how good song writing is eternal. Glad JB resisted the temptation to show off how many notes he could play in a short time- just good surf guitar.

  • Damn, I'd love to hear Junior team up with Bugs Henderson on a medley like this!

  • you know listening to this stuff is great because there are no words no misconceptions just junior

  • If you were pissed off about the last superbowl half time show dont even watch this years. Madonna are you kidding me ? Shit i didnt know she was still even alive. I can think of a tons of acts i would much rather watch. Junior brown for Super bowl halftime show.

    Ps... if you dont dance around or your toes dont tap while you are listening to this you need to go to the doc you might be dead !@!

  • OMG memories traveling down I-90 in Montana at warp 7 in my 64' SS Impala. Obviously different artist but awesome sound and talent. ty for the DL.

  • This guy is the real deal Gents! Heard em' in small venue concert in the Bay Area out here in No. Calif guy is incredible! Always my goto rockabilly guy!

  • until i heard this guy i thought surf should only be played with a strat or a jaguar. this guitar has a nice sound.

  • @disjoinedchip2 this guis so he made the guitar its also a steel bitchin

  • @mrwarmth100 the spelling fat fingers lol

  • Awesome.

  • TABS!!!! MUST HAZ TABZ PLZ!!!!! somebody anybody!

  • @newerakr3w0311 Got them!

  • Surf´s up

  • I saw Junior in a little honky tonk on the northside of Fort Worth, back in 1994 maybe '93. He played this song and just blew everyone away. It does not get any better than this. Went to Austin in 1995 to see him play at the Continental Club, but the show was cancelled because Junior had his gall bladder removed the night before in I think it was Memphis. I could be wrong about the city, but I later saw him in the early 2000's here in Fort Worth at Billy Bob's Great Shows

  • pulp fiction

  • Sick gutiar

  • The best in all genre's!

  • I saw Jr. Brown at the Vodkaplex here in Dallas one time, he played this on that guit-steel, one of 'em. I like this guy, he is a Texas legend.

    I'm just doin' my job, I'm the Highway Patrol ;)

    or, better yet:

    'Cause yer wanted by the police, and my wife thinks yer dead.

    One of a kind, you go Junior.

  • 5 people need to remove themselves from Planet Earth.

  • nice, very nice

  • He's a Secret Agent, man!

  • favorited. 

  • I'm loadin' up my woodie with my boards inside. I'm STOKED.

  • could be the stupid hat.

  • I'll tell you this guy is one of the best guitar players on the earth,no shit!!

  • Took my son to see Junior in a small theater near my town. Both of us couldn't stop smiling for days after. Phenomenal.

  • FIRE' EATIN' !!!!!!!!

  • Very, very fantastioc, better than "Ventures", so great!!! Best whishes from Berlin. The Town of good old music!!!!

  • This guy is really fantastic! !

  • I can't believe how versatile this guy is. I was originally drawn to him because he sounded like Ernest Tubb.

  • Did the Junior and Dick Dale ever do a show together?

  • @retillus Impossible. No venue could hold that level of awesomeness!

  • I wonder how "Wipeout" would sound coming from Junior's guitar, or maybe even Duane Eddy's "Rebel Rouser." Or, how about if Duane and Junior did a song together? Wouldn't that be epic?

  • This dude can burn the strings. I like his style a lot!!

  • Heard this on XM Magaritaville yesterday. Wow!

  • Freakin' Awsome! He really gets the surf sound of the 60's. Not everyone can pull it off! Absolutely love it!!

  • Awesome

  • wow. Totally blown away by this one.

  • Try to play this while you are driving and not break the speed limit..............

  • @VIVADUDE07 ive always wondered who is getting ''kickbacks ''for signing these groups who no one listens to ...and then they have a group like BOSTON and have them off camera in the stands performing while some sports pronogsticator tells you the wrong team to take on your bet the second half ;;;and won't even show them performing ..losers

  • @VIVADUDE07 is absolutely impossible. I've tried. This song gets turned up so I can share it with all the kids playing their thumpity thump garbage.

  • I like how he melds Secret Agent Man into this instrumental masterpiece. A great tribute to Johnny Rivers.

  • those 4 should be shot be the sheriff

  • I have but one regret and that is that I cant hit like multiple times...

  • @jpringle1979 - You can if you leave the site & then come back to it.

  • Excellent tunes - I enjoyed  :-) Thanks for the great post!

  • GIT EM JUNIOR!!! God Damn this boy can SLAM. The devil got nervous when Junior cut this track!!! GREEEEZY EVIL!!!

  • what a fricken cool guitar !! awesome playing !!

  • I like this guy doing one of my many guitar songs. I'm a guitar picker myself. I learned to play a lot of songs from the ventures.

  • Hey remember Chad Atkins, this guy is the next best thing.

  • Hey remember Chad Atkins, this guy is the next best thing.

  • Junior and The Reverend Horton Heat kind of share the same unique genere. Country, surf, blues,rock, rockabilly and psychobilly. It would be great if they hooked up sometime. It would be one HELL of a show!.

  • @Xcorgi This guy and Horton Heat would have made a 1,000,000,000 x better half time show for the Superbowel than that Black Eyed Peas garbage medley with Slash and Usher. WTF was that anyway? Canned BS crossed with a sound man that should be fired and maybe even sever a finger or two to deter him from touching any mixer again. Yeah I called the Super Bowel instead of Superbowl, sorry sports fans. I do like Green Bay a lot though, but am not much into the NFL. Community owned team idea ROCKS.

  • @Satchmoeddie I could not agree with you more!!! The media forces multi-cultural mediocre acts (yes blacks,mexicans and half breeds) (Slash is half black) because they have unwritten rules that says NOT to play up or show anything whites do as good and EVERYTHING minorities do as great or culturally "enriching". How much air time do any WHITE musicians with any TALENT get these days? They only show the lame whiney dumbasses but they will stuff every nigger down our throats they can find!

  • @Xcorgi I hate to agree with this. I am not racist, but you are right. The media acts like they have to brain wash us so we are not bigots, or its a guilt trip. My God an asshole is an asshole, and they come in all races. Sometimes we get stuck amidst a population of trashy "pick a race" and we get disgusted with them, and yeah a one or group of sleazy Mexicans, blacks, whites should be called what it is, but since I'm white its wrong to say the N word. See John Valby on YT ya CRACKER! JKLOL

  • @Satchmoeddie I agree I to am not racist..........but I am tired of all the "rights/benefits" other nationality's get over, the people who worked hard to make this country as Fair as it IS/WAS.....I have many Black friends, that are legal, and work hard.....So I have nothing against people making an HONEST living.

    good Post I like it!

  • @Satchmoeddie Good comments and very accurate impression of what the halftime shows are... complete crap these days... and always re-planned scandals(wardrobe malfunctions and middle finger waving... yeah, right... BS). Junior is actually ttoo good for that super bowl crowd. They only understand music like the BudLite song... LOL

  • @Xcorgi hell yeah

  • F' me running, this is awesome - go you hillbilly!

  • i just tuned muy gitty,..

  • Maybe He doesnt give a sh** about mainstream!!

  • I never heard of this guy, damn he is GOOD!

  • @paniciao! Lady CACA!!! LMAO !!hahahahahahaahh !!!!!!! TRUTH !!

  • Q Buena ! Estoy feliz para escuchar La musica de mi "CULTURA"

  • You can't beat this......5 Stars!

  • Pure 100% Talent.

  • Thanks to Junior for keeping this music alive ! He does this era of music pure justice !!

    This is when music was music! Not hip hop bullspit or screaming un -intelligabley into the mic and calling it music ! Or better yet NO LADY GAGYou- I mean Gaga! NO talent type music!

  • @skynut831 true that!

  • @skynut831 You got that right, and it's lady CACA LOL.

  • im 19. i was born on his work. i saw him live when i was around 10 years old. and this brings back so many memories because this was my favorite song as a child. no doubt i will be showing his stuff to my children

  • brad paisley isn't shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This guy is the best country guitarist I've ever heard with maybe the possible exception of Chet Atkins or Mark Knopfler, and I can tell you semi-truck drivers LOVE this guy and his music. I agree with the above commenter, it is an absloute mystery why this guy isn't HUGE mainstream. But for those of us who know of him, I thank God the joy he gave me, driving a bigrig on the road or having some drinks spacing out at home to Junior's music.

  • he's a legend!

  • i have known Junior for about 20 years,and he does his own thing,main stream aint his deal.he plays to have fun and so others can enjoy the same kind of music he does.He is his manager.

  • HE MAY NOT WANT TO BE "MAIN STREAM"???!!! WTF CANT SOMEBODY JUST KICK ASS?? I'M WAITING FOR A REV AND JUNIOR CD!!!!!!!

  • first time I ever heard this .wow me like

  • 2 'people' are deaf.

  • cool break at 1:17

  • I love Junior Brown, but doesn't it seem kinda gay that he was a musical guest on Spongebob?

  • Listening this mix, volume up high, while driving a big ass Cadillac Eldorado convertible in a New Mexico highway. Great music.

  • I saw Junior Brown live at a Native American festival one cold night in Oklahoma a few years ago and was just blown away by his energy and skill with that magic guitar! One of the best al around players ever in my opinion.

  • Agree that he's in a class all by himself!

  • Two people have no appreciation for the guitar....

    Guitar-gasm!

  • Anyone who doesn't like this, please vacate my solar system right NOW please!!!

  • "Pipeline" 0-2:51; (The Chantays) "Walk Don't Run '64" 2:51-4:06; (The Ventures) "Out of Limits" 4:06-4:17; (The Markays) "Walk Don't Run '64" 4:17-5:05; (The Ventures) "Secret Agent Man" 5:05- 7:00. (Johnny Rivers)

  • @ratblisspiss OUT OF LIMITS (originally called Outer Limits...I have both 45s) was by the MARKETTS google MICHAEL Z. GORDON

  • really? 2 people don't like this? They musta just missed the like button...

  • JB one of the best guitar players ever. The man is a genious. The way he gets sound out of that guitsteel. What a combo of complimintary sounds he makes to be able to make one intsrument bring more lifeTo a song than most 3 man bands. JB must sleep with his guitsteel under his pillow. thanks forputting this song up. You know real music when you hear it.

  • this is really amazing, i listend to it 3 times now and i have to say, i am speachless

  • Junior Brown is the best guitar player by far. I've seen them all play live....JB blows them all away.

  • Caught his show at the Southgate House last night. He is definitely underrated in my book. One of the best!!!!

  • The other instruments aren't really necessary.

  • The best picker walking the planet today.

  • This guy is fantastic! And I remember the original guitar work on these songs. He really understands the underlying music and makes it his own. Why isn't he Everywhere?!?

  • @LisaMarli RIGHT ! HE SHOULD BE FOR SURE ! it's like he's a secret for connoisseurs only........

  • @LisaMarli HE IS, JUST RELAX AND FEEL HIM AROUND YOU!

  • @LisaMarli cause theyre too busy playing the corporate country crapola on the radio these days that all sounds the same...

  • @LisaMarli because whats everywhere is crap. havent you listend to todays music? IT SUCKS ASS. i hate pop and rap.

  • @LisaMarli Because he didnt fit what was "in" in country music at the time. Junior is awesome. LIsten to his version of lovely hula hands if you can find it

  • Jr. Brown kicks major ass. Seen him play once,he is amazing!

  • GuitarSource thank you for the righteous upload, this is fill in the superlative of your choice __________________! Awesome, awe inspiring, tremendous, wonderful, unbeatable, unbelievable, peerless, magnificent, inimitable just leave it at Thank God for Junior Brown and You Tube!

  • JB you friiggin Rock

    keep on pickin

  • Is this guy good or what? If it was meant to be be played on a guitar, Junior Brown can play it. You go, guy!

  • Junior plays it better than the Ventures! IMAO.

  • Sounds like only reverb effect. Probably a Fender amp since that's what he uses. I hear whammy bar but he doesn't have that on his guit-steel, so musta used a different guitar?

  • What a beautiful mind this man has.

  • I wonder what kind of amp and pickups he uses (+ pedals?). The 6-string neck looks like a tele.

  • Très, très, bon....Génial....

  • I have seen him live with just a bass player and the drummer with a snare and Hi-Hat. He is simply Amazing!

  • Good stuff!!! I love it!!

  • Jr actually gave guitar lessons to Stevie Ray & Jimmy Vaughn.

  • @Bluesman9830 can you please verify that??? Interesting! Thanks

  • @Bluesman9830 Is that really true? What an underrated talent.

    The only place you hear him is on Outlaw Country on Sirius.

  • NEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDD TABS FOR GUITAR PRO FOR THIS !

  • No one can ever top Jr Brown!!!

  • @InaWonder cept mabe dragonforce or lynyrd skynyrd

  • GREETINGS FROM PSEUDO!!!!!!!

  • Thank you Jun' ! cool stuff...

  • JB is Incredible.

    He was acually featured on an episode of Spongebob Squaqrepants once. The episode where Sandy misses Texas.

  • Junior Brown rocks.

  • Song number 3 is "Secret Agent Man" written by Steve Barri and P. F. Sloan. The most famous recording of the song was made by Johnny Rivers for the opening titles of the American broadcast of the British spy series Danger Man, which aired in the US as Secret Agent from 1964 to 1966.

  • The best gui- steel inventor and player of all time. Best show I've ever seen in person, bar none.

  • The best musician I've ever seen or heard in person.

  • Just got home from a Junior Brown show at the Granada in Dallas - its all true, this guy is ridiculous to see live. I can't even express how good he was. Plus he played for almost two hours without more than about a 3 second break!!!

  • Just thought I would share one more video today, if you like great guitar check out Jr Brown, this medley is one of my favorites but check out his " My Baby Don't Dance To Nothing But Ernest Tubb " .

  • Pipeline / Walk, Don't Run / Secret Agent Man

  • I hear some Walk, Don't Run, a little Out Of Limits in there.

  • does anyone knows the titles of the songs he plays?

    I only know the first song by name ie. pipeline

  • hey look for vids by charlie epperson. he can play too

  • i agree with all of you. hey lets get together and tip one. love the secret agent man twist

  • best guitarist i've ever seen! you can't beat the guit-steel!!!!

  • caught the Junior Brown show in Ferndale MI last Friday.......an absolute terrific experience.....

  • @zbsr when was he up this way? i only saw lke 3 shows in Tx. for later this summer posted on his website. Would LOVE to see him live! COME on Jr. get a hold of Hank III & Unknown Hinson & tour buddy! PLEASE!? will got to the Southgate House in Cinnci/Newport,Ky., Awesome club, or in Dayton, maybe Reverend Horton Heat.

  • The beauty of this is that it isn't merely a cover. Brown absolutely captures the feel of the Chantays' original, and of the times and the genre, and in fact enhances it. The dude's a virtuoso.

  • sitting here in socal and loving this music!!!!

  • Blows me away, everytime I hear it, and I listen to it a lot.

    He is the real deal, long live Junior B.!!!

    ..Clapton must be glad he wears a cowboy hat

  • I.m speachless ! ! ! There are NO words to scribe such talent

  • Wharty and ristin59, you are both right. What a talent he is. Great post, Guitar Source!!!!!!

  • The 1st time I heard him in the 1990's I thought he was it, the best you can be with a guitar and I still think so.

  • You can here the influences he has had in his playing - Blues, Rock, Soul, Country/Western, Tex Mex... - it is all in this song surfed up.  He is a living legend. I dig Junior Brown!!! He deserves a lot more recognition for what he does and has done for every kind of music out there except maybe opera. Despite his taco style cowboy hat this guy is a lot more than country - a trainload more. Thanks for posting this!

  • Amazing!

  • Music this cool even warms up Minnesota in January

  • love this guy

  • Simply brilliant.

  • killer..........

  • I've heard many outstanding surf guitarists such as Nokie, Gerry McGee, Dick Dale, & Shigeo Naka, but Junior Brown takes it all to the next level. Just in his infinite variations in hand muting alone make him an over-the-top artist.

  • totally awesome dude.. wow this is great

  • this guy just simply kicks ass !!!!! its not easy to play at this level, he really needs a better manager because he should be main stream

  • Junior is the king of his own country. Believe me, he is right where he wants to be.

    Not everyone is cut out to be Garth Brooks or Tim McGraw.

  • @lmranch08 His manager also manages Sting

  • @lmranch08 a friend who does national sound for bands, all levels, has seen him , a guitarist himself, and labels him as a 'stud' on guitar..

  • @lmranch08 NO Shit!!! This guy is a kick in the ass to see live. He has one of the best shows ever and this one he and the drummer are the only two on the stage.

  • @lmranch08 This could apply to SO many guitarists, but they know this going in. I have a lot of respect for them in this regard.

  • Junior Brown is something else thats 4 sure!

  • THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD, GO JUNIOR.

  • Fantastic! That guitsteel sure is a fine invention!!

  • aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh junior!!!!!!!!!!;)

  • Saw him in Chattanooga with just him and his drummer.....the guy's freaking great and a true pro...he plays surf music better than the Ventures and Dick Dale....a classic guy that needs to be appreciated more...

  • definitley one of the top 5 guitarist walking the planet today......name better.....
