[steviebkhall]

Some great lyrics ! Great real old nashville sound ! Great musicians , Cudos,and thanks for posting .

[toltec13]

Funny and cute video.

[wlangley88]

I think this won some country music video of the year when it first came out.

[MoreBetterGooder]

The tall girl is Gwendolyn Gillingham-McIlvaine, and she is 6'7". She played basketball for North Carolina, and is now married to 7'1" Jim McIlvaine. She has an older sister Heidi Gillingham who played basketball for Vanderbilt and is 6'8",even though they listed her at 6'10". These girls out grew even there father who was 6'6". Oh, and I love Junior Brown :)

[leonticonderoga2]

Sorry you didn't make it big, Junior, but thanks for your music and thanks for keeping it country.

[editman76]

my god she is hot!

[creamyfilling102]

there's just something about a good lookin broad in a medium length skirt sneaking around a corner to the sound of a steel guitar that just gets me off.

[1911HeadBanger]

Who's the Blonde Ex Girlfriend? She looks really tall.

[blkwdw08]

junior brown is one of the very best country muscians ia have heard in along time the only reason he is not recognized is because he actually makes music and doesn't give a shit about popularity or being a part of the in crowd to hell with pop country give me junior any day

[leonticonderoga2]

You don't see too many videos like this one that actually go along with the songs they're made for.

[thudson]

I was never in to country until I heard Junior Brown. Then I went back and listened to old country, and realize the same thing that happened to rock and pop happened to country. All corporate music sucks.

[compsciguy]

@thudson

What do you mean? All music has corporate ties. That's why there's record labels. Name one famous artist who does NOT have any major record deal.

[rkh66econo]

Love this video, Great!

[domcplnc]

Great song. Can't see the last part of the video happening

[TGS556]

The blonde is Gwendolyn Gillingham-McIlvaine. She is 6'7"; a former college (and pro?) basketball player.

[dudefelix]

My Wife Thinks i´m  Dead too.

[lhemeon]

What a great video.Thumbs up

[kllobersaurus]

The Greatest Guitar players ever for me is Jimi Hendrix, Toni Iommi and Junior Brown....

[HereIsRick]

@kllobersaurus add jimmy page and you have the same list as i do!

[CrazyKalle666]

who's that GIGANTIC girl? o.o

[doughesson]

@CrazyKalle666 I always thought that it was Margeaux Hemmingway but don't get me to lying to you on it.

[CrazyKalle666]

@doughesson I wouldn't know, but she is abnormally tall o.O

[charlie6644]

This was absolutely Great! Loved it... I hope there are more... Love Junior Brown"s deep voice, and steel g.

[bohs1984]

Why is Jr. being chased by a transvestite? I don't understand.

[alaric63]

This is an Awesome tune!

[rd1550]

We all have our demons Junior, like D.A Coe has been snubbed and regardless your opinion both are good at what they do. I am old enough to have been an admirer of J. Rogers and Juniors "Gal from Oklahoma" is a labor such that not only are vocals,guitar dead on but the peripheral crap that came w/singing in to a can....the dif in binary and wax. Junior record some blue yodels.....all around the water tank,standing in the rain, a million miles away from home,not a penny to my name.......

[crochetcatcrafty]

Fun song. Junior's the greatest. I wish he would make more funny videos like this!

[1madeintheimage]

He sounds like 1958...Awesome!

[thesteveareno62]

Is that his wife playing guitar in the highway patrol video?

[runswithwolves7777]

Juniors awsome he's one of the best guitar player in the world, even thuogh his guitar aways look funny,



[geeky311]

Junior Wells and his guitbox

[trukkastanleyJ]

It's so nice to see women in skirts. It seems like an eternity since I saw a feminine looking casually dressed lady.

[sabrinaellis77]

Love it! Plain and simple talent....

[spazhat]

I don't know too much about this new-fangled country music. I heard this recording on the radio and thought it was Ernest Tubb. I've been looking at every Tubb LP for the last 10 years, wondering why I couldn't find this song. I'm a little embarrassed because I buy and sell records. I'm gonna look into this Junior Brown!

[strangerberry]

4 people told there wife she is dead...

[TheRomanianHistorian]

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.

[ridgerunninstumpjump]

after watching this i have a feeling that junior is one of unknown hinson's biggest influences.

[flatblackbsa]

heard this 1st on OUTLAW COUNTRY... freakin' brilliant song / vid !!!

[VampireDemonQueen]

A thousand thumbs way up! I love Junior Brown

[mpetersen6]

I hate to say this but if this music doesn't work out then I think he's got a fiture as the new Ernest P Worrel simply based on his facial expressions

[MrGotsquashed]

Not everyone is as lucky as me- I'm not married! lol

[crashmaster57]

I think Junior is just bit taller than me, I don't know? But I think I could kiss Gwendolyn Gillingham's belly button standing straight up, or at least I'd like to try! :-)

[Icrudulent]

In my lost youth, I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Brown, and YES, HE IS A GUITAR GOD!!!

[MiddleMadMen]

wow right between :24_:30 you can hear a lil bit of Sugar foot rag....listen carefully

[YouCanAlwaysGo]

the ol' hot foot, what a classic!

[tramoliter]

I agree ...more Junior Brown. Im coverin this tune and Highway Patrol in my solo act. Keep em commin Jr.

[fenderfish]

Viva! Junior Brown El Presidente 2012

[RCH45ACP]

Country music needs more Junior Brown and less Rascal Flats.

[goldis21]

too funny.......was happy to see them sing this song years ago......gotta love it lots !

[stickpepe]

So I'm guessing 4 people are wanted by the police?

Sorry... couldn't help myself

[shortness69ing]

elvis has nothing on junior brown

[ScarlettOBeara]

@shortness69ing That's the truth....but Elvis could sing Gospel, he gets props for that!

[phillyblizzard]

This is ALL good!

[poetndidntnoit]

Wow! how tall is that woman in the video and who is she?

[uscg1975]

@poetndidntnoit Her name is Gwendolyn Gillingham-McIlvaine. She is 6'7"

and is married to a former NBA'er named Jim who is 7'1".

[whitedynamite2]

@uscg1975 jim lasted 3 years -5years then retired

[southernprideyankee]

THUMBS UP IF YA THINK BROWN IS BEST STEEL GUITARIST OUT THERE!

[Satchmoeddie]

@southernprideyankee Non pedal? IDK Lotsa guys out there that are damn good. Jr get the vote for playing the 8 string lap mixed with a 6 string 25.5" scale twangin 6string, switching from one to the other. Curlie Chalker, Don Helms, Shot Jackson, Speedy West, and on and on. There are a lot of really great steel players I refuse to sell short by making it a competition. I do really love Jr. Brown, and #1 is a lovely thought but, aint no such thing as #1. Its music like it or don't & I LOVE this!

[chh5555]

tremendous...clever and cool

[dedulik]

wow!!! i love her! damn

[Jjackoskie]

Outstanding!!!

[outlawjosie999]

Damn this is Kewl!

[gasfreetech4]

Truly Aw some Song!

[cutegirl00179]

This is when country music was good, today it's full of shit.

[sativasweetleaf]

@cutegirl00179 I could not have said it better!!

[aperez515]

You gotta love the fresh ass suit with that bitchin hat! Junior Brown just makes some some damn fun music

[GoonyCruLLP]

This guy remains in obscurity, while Toby Keith is famous. There is no god.

[SpaceAceTX]

@GoonyCruLLP Good one, cheers from Texas

[compsciguy]

@GoonyCruLLP

a fact deserves some proof, don't you think?

[Ratae999]

This is a great song; VERY clever and probably my favorite country song. Who's the dark haired woman playing his wife in the video?

[Txmusicam]

That's his real-life wife, the lovely Miss Tanya Rae.

[chuckschilling]

@Ratae999 That would be Tanya Rae Brown, aka Mrs. Junior Brown.

[bendavis83]

@Ratae999 His wife kinda reminds me of Sally Field.

[stickpepe]

Oops, it looks like 4 people accidentally pushed the thumbs down button...

[bigdave55b2]

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

[fordude60]

Junior Brown is something else! I love this video. Hadn't seen it in years.

[ahdyend]

Love junior brown he puts on an awesome show, man can he play that guitsteel, if you havent seen him, see him!!

[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!

[Brenda70707]

This has got to be the absolute best music video of all time. Love the "keystone cops" and the silent movie style. Thanks for uploading this video!

[jonathan1stewart]

I like the album version of the song better with the Jimmy Vaughan guitar solo.

[likestallwomen]

How the hell did they get a bike for her to ride on, her legs are so freakin' long at 6'7, and I like to know what the other song she's on with him, I think that was the funny one!

[Brenda70707]

@likestallwomen The video you're looking for is Venom Wearin' Denim. Didn't see it here on youtube, but maybe someone will upload it.

[likestallwomen]

@Brenda70707 Thanks Brenda! Gotta say though, Junior Brown has a good sense of humor!

[Bigbadred23]

Gotta Love it

[skotxmeyerx9]

lol

[HEBisreal]

this is sooo funy

[leonardinsky]

Nice song!!!

[goose700]

his wife in this vid is his real wife

[logroller69]

Catch him at a small venue if you can, but get there early, the joint will be jammed!

[MidnightsSweetheart]

I love him. My dad got me into him and now I can't stop listening to him

[eightday]

Great song!!!

[aarfeld]

One of the more clever videos I've seen.

[swwaddell]

Really listen to those solos. They're amazing.

[ExUSSailor]

Proof that, despite it's best efforts, Nashville can't kill REAL country!

[scason]

Nope, they didn't invent real country and they can't kill it. I do believe, however, they have made themselves irrelevant. They are just another town with recording studios. Very few people look to Nashville for good music like this anymore.

[A1l2l2e2n4]

@scason

Nashville very likely wouldn't be regarded as the "capital" of country music today if it weren't for the Grand Ole Opry, broadcast by WSM. The first country recording sessions took place in Bristol, TN/VA.

[aarfeld]

@ExUSSailor: Amen!

[edslides]

thank you. coudnt have said it better m'self!

saw him last night in san antone with george thorogood.

ruined georges whole show in 20 minutes!

what a band.

and taylor swift: no matter how many times you sing your songs, and you have a great voice, but.............

, YOU AINT NEVER GONNA BE COUNTRY!

if brittany was to sing all of her songs, how many people would say, "gee, i didnt know brittany sang country songs"?

yeeeaaaah.........

[solarcollector123]

I remember when this was new, its hard to find anyone today that compares to him.

[ransom767]

I love this video. ran across it one day while watching CMT. something made me do a search on it here one day. so great to see this again ) told my friends they should check this out. i can watch this over and over and i laugh every time.

[sheboggie]

Junior's a great actor! Very funny.

[dukevega1972]

Damn that's funny. Talking about doing the right thing and still getting screwed...

[russelljenkinsfearn]

Very nice thanks.

I'll be singing this aaaaallll day tomorrow I just know it

[joker1ification]

hahahahaha

[Polishpimp69]

brings back memories when i was 6. mu dad would blast it whenever it would come up on tv

[cribpointcritter]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh One of me favourites!

[azimuth361]

I love his videos. He has a great camera presence as well as being a great musician.

[OutragedPatriots]

Junior Brown - KING OF THE GUIT-STEEL !!

[Mccabone]

I've been listening to Junior Brown since he was a regular at the Continental Club in Austin Texas but I'd like to find out the name of the Tall actress???

[Txmusicam]

Her name's Gwendolyn Gillingham, she used to play basketball for North Carolina back in the 90s.

[eightday]

@Txmusicam Didnt she do a skechers commerical back in the 90's? I looked for it on here but I cant find it.

[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?

[jtighe1]

Awesome song and video.

[NoUrDumb25419]

I'd love to hear ol' Junior re-do "Thunder Road"! The Robert Mitchum version, Not Springsteens' crap.

[fordude60]

@NoUrDumb25419 I would love to hear Junior do "Thunder Road" too! He would do a great job with it!

[srtspence]

love it!! lol

[morehern]

My Parents are graduate educators tch2rd2...........older and back i college .hey , itis great that u know Junior tune

[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 ...

[TeleTubeee]

I think his wife believes Junior did something to encourage his old girlfriend to return.

[x170063]

Great vid & song, it is just sad that he ended up sleeping out on the porch, when he really didn't do anything wrong.

[RickRudesMustache]

the videos so hilarious and such a great song. can't say enough good about junior brown in a day an age when country has gone corporate...

[RealTime88]

I love country music and this is one of my favorite songs!!!

[lblackwell26]

I loved this song in college and we would always shut up and watch the TV in the lobby when it came on. Glad to be able to see it again!

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

I remember this song. Cute vid.

[mdbpowerwash]

ive met him a couple of times' and he is a true genteleman

[xxlonestarxchickxx]

what a brilliant song done by junior!! i love how the video is like the 1920-30s silent comedy movies

[chinacat]

I wish Junior was my neighbor, what a legend!

[TheSschulse]

Love this original video of My wife thinks your dead!

[Robkat3751]

Jr. Can act as well as he can play.

[Shitkoolie]

Saw Jr in PX AZ years ago, he was opening for the Mavericks, he out sold them at the vendors, got more cheers also, he is worth every $, he is great!

[samndbo]

Gwendolyn Gillingham

and she is 6ft 7"

[x170063]

great vid... and great music. Junior is awesome

[AgnosticKindaGuy]

Junior is a guitar God!

[marcosvidal]

acctualy I think he's is awsome, on his style, we cant say 'better of all' or 'best of world' cause each musician has his own style, all kind of expressions like that can sound a little confusing and some time can be unfair to other musicians, they're all good, not bad not better, each musician has his inspiration like I sayd. Love Junior brown style

[CenaFanV2]

What is Her Name ?

[HITHEREFOLKS]

We are all EAGERLY WAITING FOR PART 2 !

[tomtrh]

Here here!!!

Thanks for posting this! LOVED the video!!

[HITHEREFOLKS]

Italy,that's where I live at the moment

[HITHEREFOLKS]

All drivers should get a 50 % REDUCTION ON SPEEDING TICKETS IF THEY SING 2 VERSES TO THE ENFORCING OFFICER.....WHADDYA SAY JUNIOR! ?

[HITHEREFOLKS]

Who's the girl playing tall doll in the video?

[JimMcIlvaine]

Her nephew is Dan Kinzelman, a jazz saxaphonist, who lives and performs in Italy. He also has a myspace site

[HITHEREFOLKS]

Thanks for telling me,is she really that tall or is it just a movie fiction?

[JimMcIlvaine]

If you get a chance to see Dan Kinzelman perform, I'm sure he can answer any questions about her.

[HITHEREFOLKS]

Thanks Jim

[HITHEREFOLKS]

DELIGHTFUL PIECE of country guitar, AND THE VIDEO IS FUNNY,I LAUGH EVERY TIME! A1 JOB JUNIOR!

[marcosvidal]

1:10 is funny as hell!!!

[AJCcrunk05]

I've been looking everywhere for this!

[trashlegend]

one of the best videos ever made in any genre of music IMHO

[17drw]

this video cracks me up.

[bossnbruce]

damn is that a TALL woman or what???

[gibbythepick]

I'd hit it!

[NJHCRevEdge]

He's living proof that, despite Nashville's best efforts, you can't kill REAL country.

[xrockomo90x]

@NJHCRevEdge Amen brother Ben...Shit fire sace a match

[Cynseven]

Now this is country music

[sirmickalotdogg]

sumbitch can play...

[Robkat3751]

Junior Brown can do it all. When do we see him in a feature length film?

[Desdemona202]

Lol

[letterforms]

Junior Brown rocks. I love this song.

[TheGregWoodBand]

Super great!

[rustandgrease]

Great video, I remebered all of it from the one time I saw it years ago on tv. He is a great picker. Thanks for posting it!

[Doozersb82]

He Actually Looks Like A Strange Cross Between Buster Keaton And Barney Fife How Odd

[Righty736]

Never thought of that but you're right.

[JorshWarshington]

I saw Junior Brown once many years ago and he was a total class act. Phenomenal guitar player and stand-up gentleman. Also, that blonde is a big bitch.
