5.0 out of 5 stars Junior Gets Just As Wild As He Wants To Be..., March 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Long Walk Back (Audio CD)

I must take exception to the reviews complaining about Junior breaking away from "what he does best". What he does best is combine a fistful of traditional guitar/music styles in a most non-traditional way. His originality is such that he even had to invent the Guit-Steel to perform this soaring, poignant, blistering brew of licks in real time. It is an amazing thing to behold in a live performance.

Although Junior has a fine sense of humor in his songs, his "short, concise & humorous" tunes are my least favorite. In fact, I would venture to say that he uses these vehicles to get himself in the door of recording companies & into the tighter-than-Dwight's-jeans confines of modern country radio.

I say let the man do his thing & let us sit back & enjoy his genius. By the way, I would have paid $15.00 for "Stupid Blues" alone. Ever since I saw him perform it live, I knew I had to have it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Junior did a fine job!, December 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Long Walk Back (Audio CD)

I understand that this CD encompasses more musical styles than previous Junior Brown CDs, but that's the joy of listening to Junior. He is musically diverse, inventive, original, and hugely talented. Nobody does Texas honky-tonk music this well these days. And as for the rest of the songs, nobody even comes close. This is actually my favorite Junior Brown CD, and yes, I have seen him live as well. If you truly are a music lover and can appreciate innovation and different types and styles of music, then you shouldn't have any problem with this CD. Junior's love for the same is apparent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A surprising combination of good old boy and rock, October 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Long Walk Back (Audio CD)

Picture a businesswoman in a record store with headphones on smiling and that's the image of me listening to my first Junior Brown CD, Long Walk Back. Country is not my favorite category usually, but I am partial to old time country and this fits the bill, with a unique twist. I love his voice and listening to the music reminded me of my dad's Bob Wills records. This is a great addition to any eclectic collection.
