Junior Brown
This country legend sticks his neck out creatively, in more ways than one. Credited with the creation of a double-necked “guit-steel” that combines a traditional six-string guitar with a full-size steel guitar, Brown employs the instrument to great effect in his unique sound. His witty lyrics, delivered via wryly casual vocals, meld with old-school twangy guitar for a lively take on OG country music that sounds like a 1950s musical cowpoke transported to the 21st century. His most recent album, “The American Original,” brings together 22 favorite songs from previous releases.
