Junior Brown is definitely the most under rated guitarist I have ever heard. He has great stage presence as well. I can not understand why he is so damn unheard of.
@BuddyMETAL1 He's rockabilly country. Not a lot of people like that genre of music. He's too country to be sorted with guys like Mike Ness or Reverend Horton Heat and not pop enough to make it in the pussy pop country world that exists today where band like Old Crow Medicine Show and Whiskey Shivers wallow in obscurity.
I kind of like it this way though, I can keep Junior to a very select group of people who really appreciate what he does as it is.
Modern country is so far detached from it's roots its disgusting. Where have all chickin' pickers and gunslingers gone?? Alt-rock... haha. I dunno, this is a classic track in my opinion. Just a guy having a lot of fun doing his thing. That's what counts.
I don't think that there is anything that Jr. Can't play, music that is, and everything is first class. Jr. can do Creedence, Hendrix, Canned heat, Beach Boys, and the list goes on. Amazing guy.
yeah i still say he is another underated country musician-this guy is to country as what buckethead is for metal,both are underated very very talented people ;)
i learned this song through john 5 and dont nobody give me shit i say he's a good player but i think in my own opinion that jhon 5 is idk maybe the same
Junior rocks... and I love the little Hendrix parts he throws in. 2:14-2:21 sounds like the ending of Manic Depression. Then he does a bit of Wind Cries Mary at 3:21-3:25. Too cool.
Absolutely fabulous. Junior Brown is an awesome picker. He just madfe my favorite instrumental, "the sugarfoot rag".

This is so good! Love the subtle 'tributes' to Jimi at 2:13 to 2:21, and again at 3:20 to the end when he.....well obviously.

That boy is slick on that guitar. He's under-appreciated in country music because he thinks over their heads.

Dig "The Wind Cries Mary" at the end.
I'm going back to bed now, 40 years fooling around with guitars and I'll never catch Junior.

I wish my brain were more like Junior Brown's. Something's got to be the matter with him, that he can think of stuff like he does.
