Junior Brown's fifth album, Long Walk Back, shows off Junior's diversity and his "guit-steel" guitar wizardy. The guit-steel is Junior's own invention and features both guitar and steel guitar necks on one instrument. Brown is a multi-Grammy nominee who tours in large venues and comes home to Austin to play intimate country, swing and rock at the Continental Club and other local venues.

Brown's baritone voice has endeared him to fans from many genres and his guitar prowess leave listeners in awe. His first solo release, 12 Shades of Brown, was in 1990. It has been followed by Guit With It, Junior High and the acclaimed Semi-Crazyin 1996. Two songs from Junior High went to number one on The Nashville Network (TNN). His videos have earned Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association awards. Grammy nominations were for "Best Album," "Best Song"and "Best Male Vocal." He's appeared all over the TV dial, been in commercials and the movie "Still Breathing."

Brown has evolved from classical piano training as a child through surf music, acid rock, and honky tonks as a sideman in other fellow's bands. Not until he decided to be true to his own vision of good music with a good dose of guitar licks thrown in did the Stetson wearing Brown begin to develop a following. He delivers lyrics full of word play and double meaning backed up by his wife on rhythm guitar, whom he introduces as "the lovely Miss Tanya Rae."

The Village Voice compared him to Jimi Hendrix, saying, "His Hendrix fixation, it's now obvious, is not a slacker grabbing gimmick, but an honorable exploration of the highways and byways Jimi opened, and a journey moreover, where in Junior's loose-as-a-goose wristing, combined with his guit-steel's unique and extraordinary range, actually elevates him into the class of musical humans going where no man, Hendrix not excepted, has gone before." Junior himself claims to have been influenced by Bob Wills. Long Walk Back demonstrate both influences, beginning with the straight country sound of "Long Walk Back to San Antone" and ending with the eight-minute blues jam "Stupid Blues" featuring former Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell.
