Details: Amazon.ca Almost every article ever written about Junior Brown has compared him to Ernest Tubb and Jimi Hendrix. Brown does sing in the bottomless barroom baritone of Tubb and does pick his guit-steel (his invention, a combination of Telecaster guitar and a tabletop steel guitar) as if he were Hendrix in a brim-turned, straw cowboy hat. What few observers point out is that Brown writes songs like Roger Miller. That gift for exaggerated lyrics is more obvious than ever on Brown's third full-length album, "Semi-Crazy." Brown is less interesting when he gets serious, as on the sentimental romantic plea "Darlin' I'll Do Anything You Say." No matter what he plays, though, Brown always entertains with his buttery, deep-voiced purr and his sudden bursts of picking virtuosity. --Geoffrey Himes Product Description Junior is an artist that is capable of crossing the barriers of formats, genres and time. On his all new studio album, Junior takes his audience from the 1950's to the 1990's and beyond with a sound that is likely to draw as many fans from the alternative genre as it is from the traditional country genre. Tracks include "Venom Wearin' Denim," "Parole Board," "Joe the Singing Janitor," "Surf Medley" and 6 more.
