But if that's not enough talent for any one person, he also has a rich baritone voice that will surprise you with its quality. Junior Brown is a wizard on almost any kind of guitar you want to name, but is probably best known for playing an instrument he had a hand in inventing! He calls it a "guit-steel" and it's actually a double-necked guitar that can be played as both a regular six-stringed instrument and as a steel guitar. He uses that odd, misshapen piece of hardware to create a lot of different sounds, and they are all pleasing to the ear.Brown was always a demon guitarist, and after spending some time as a guitar teacher he decided to expand his horizons into performing. He began to build his reputation in the eighties and he's been a fixture around the music industry ever since. He's generated several albums of his own and has appeared with other stars too — he's even toured with Dylan. One of his more interesting appearances was on the Beach Boys' album Stars And Stripes, performing a special version of their song "409" — Brown played guitar and sang lead while the Beach Boys sang backup on their own song!  Visit Junior Browns Website
