After seeing countless shows over the years I still really enjoy most of the shows I choose to go to. Rarely am I blown out of the water anymore yet I sure was last week at the Junior Brown concert which I posted on a few days before.  Somehow the guys at Callahan's in Auburn Hills, MI enticed Junior to their small (about 200) seat venue.  Junior traveled to Michigan but love of his music was already clearly here as shown by the VERY enthusiastic packed house. For those of you who aren't familiar with Junior let me 'splaine.  Back in the 80's Junior was constantly switching back and forth between guitar and steel guitar when it hit him- why not have an instrument with both.  Thus was born the "Guit-Steel" around 1985 and the  legend of Junior began. [caption id="attachment_1767" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Junior with the Guit-Steel"] [/caption] Pair the energy of the guit-steel with Brown's barritone and you have a true musical force.  His only accompanyment is bass and stripped down drum kit.  He generally switched between guitar and steel 3-4 times per song, if not more! His catalog is wide ranging, from his hero Ernest Tubb to Albert King to many of his own often humorous tunes. The show was opened up with one of Detroit's best bands The Deadstring Brothers, which I have reviewed here before! If this Austin native comes anywhere near you make sure you go and find out "what BROWN can do for you!"
