It’s been nearly four years since Junior Brown’s last album, Live at the Continental Club: The Austin Experience. That’s a long time. Then again, Brown has never been a fan of the studio. The guitarist has released just nine albums since 1974. A genuine virtuoso, Brown prefers jamming, gigging, practicing, touring, etc. Playing a hybrid electric guitar and lap steel called a guit-steel, Brown is one of roots rock’s most gifted pickers. Of course, a lot of folks can’t get over that novel-looking axe, but that’s just the gift wrapping. When you get some extra time, track down an instrumental by the name of “Sugarfoot Rag.” This is Brown at his most intense. He sounds like Clarence White, Jr., as he fuses James Burton and Jimi Hendrix. No lie. With Shane Tutmarc.
