Junior Brown Information Continued
Junior Brown plays the "guit-steel" standing behind it while
it rests in a small podium / music stand. The top neck is a
traditional 6 string "Fender Telecaster" style neck while the lower
neck is basically a full on steel guitar for slide playing. There is a
pocket in the body of the guitar to take the slide while not is use.
Junior Brown quickly became a local success in Austin, Texas as
the house band at the Continental Club. His debut album was 1993's
12 Shades of Brown; it was followed by Guit with It
later that year. Both albums cemented his reputation as one of the
more critically acclaimed country singers of the 1990s.
In 1995, Junior Brown made a comeback bid with Semi
Crazy, followed by 1997's The Long Walk Back. In 1996,
Junior Brown was featured on The Beach Boys' now out-of-print album Stars and Stripes
Vol. 1 performing a cover of their 1962 hit "409". The song
features Junior Brown playing guitar and singing lead, with The
Beach Boys singing harmonies and backing vocals.
Although Junior Brown is a wizard guitar player in
traditional country guitar styles and hawaiin steel guitar styles, not
many of his performances will finish without some amazing blues
playing and also a healthy swag of surf instrumentals. In 2006, he
will be joining
Bob Dylan on tour.
