Junior Brown is the best! I've seen him twice - both times he played a bunch of surf tunes - and it was great! I still imitate his version of Penetration every time I play it -

He only supports my idea that surf and rockabilly and country (real country, no the new stuff) are separated by only a few degrees.

Here's my Junior Brown story - the first time I saw him was a a club called the Soiled Dove here in Denver during the stock Show - it was packed. - this was in 1995? anyway - after the opening band - i went to the restroom, and while i was washing my hands, I hear over the PA, "Ladies and Gentleman - JUNIOR BROWN!!!!!" I ran out of the bathroom, and i stood in the aisle and stood on my tip toes to see Junior. right then, i feel a hand on my back, and a low LOW voice says " Excuse me son..." I was standing in the aisle from the backstage area and, it was Junior brown himself pushing me aside. He then blew the crowd and me away with his guitar - He's unbelievable!

I'd never heard of this guy before, but he's totally awesome! What other surf has he played?

Junior has been to Atlanta several times, and Eddie and I have become big fans. On that video, check out Junior's wife Tanya Rae's rhythm guitar playing...that's the way it is supposed to be done. She is like a freakin' metronome on stage.

Junior Brown is an absolutely phenomenal guitar player. First time I ever saw him was in Austin on a Wed. night. I was in a kinda down mood so I decided to stop in Antones and get a dose of blues. Billboard outside said "Jr Brown tonight" sounded like a good name for a blues player so I paid my 5 bucks and went in. There were maybe 10 people at best in the club that night so I got right up by the stage. I saw this Roy Rogers/ Howdy Doody looking guy on stage preping for the show. He had the strangest lap steel/ telecaster hybrib guitar I had ever seen. I remember thinking to myself there is only 10 people here because it was amatuer night for the entertainment and I had just wasted 5 bucks cover. Once he started playing though, I realized this guy is absolutely no amatuer. I NEVER miss a chance to see this guy. On top of his playing, he has a pretty tongue in cheek song writing style thats a kick too.

I've mentioned Jr. before here on 101. The guy rocks. I happen to be a big fan of steel guitars and when Jr. gets serious with that steel....damn, what a sound. He always seems to use two silver face Twin Reverbs with JBL's. We had a discussion about the aplicability of the Tele for surf music. Well Mr Brown has it dialed in....ed

Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps?

He does a mean 409 with the Beach Boys.
Don't you like that old country voice with the surfharmonies!

Too bad Brian Wilson was not there. I wonder what was wrong with him that week.

Wow. That was awesome, that Junior Brown medley has been mentioned several times but had never heard it, let alone seen it. Thanks for posting!

Surf in Seattle?

Junior seems to be a good sport. This guy just barges on the stage.

I saw Junior Brown last night for the first time. Holy cow! He is awesome! Shocked What a mind blowing guitar player and that voice! He was playing 3 piece (no wife/rhythm guitar) and the bass player was playing a guitar instead of a stand-up and I couldn't believe the drummer either - just a snare and a cymbal. What a pro and a legend! And he did do his surf melody...... Worship

That actually is not a Telecaster. It's a Bullet (cheap!) with Mustang pickups. Guitar Player once covered his gear. He used to be a regular on the David Letterman show and always amazed.

I have a Supro 6 string lap steel laying around here somewhere. I started out playing steel guitar as a kid.
