Junior Brown October 3, 2004

"Junior Brown is coming to town from Austin with his eagerly awaited new album Down Home Chrome in hand! Brown's fans will tell you all about the guit-steel, the unique hybrid contraption that's part electric guitar and part country steel guitar, and they'll call him a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Ernest Tubb. But there's a lot more to say about Junior Brown. There's the fact that he's just about the best surf guitarist around, for example. Or that he's a wonderful composer of traditional country songs, the kind in which each outrageous pun leads you deeper into an emotional blind alley. Or that "My Wife Thinks You're Dead" is one of the funniest songs in existence. If you haven't seen Junior Brown yet, well, guit with it!"
