12 Shades of Brown
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
With his long, tall drink of bourbon voice--owing more than a little to idol Ernest Tubb--and his guit-steel, a weird contraption that fuses a lap steel with a telecaster, the idea for which reportedly came to him in a dream--Brown has become one of the most successful of the alternative country honky tonk heroes. His work is in the fashionable retro style, but his wild, Hendrix-meets-Cooder guitar gives it a rough and loud rock & roll edge. Brown's debut is his freshest, loosest album featuring the borderline novelty numbers "My Baby Don't Dance to Nothing But Ernest Tubb" and "Hillbilly Hula Gal," as well as material in a bluesier mood. --Roy Francis Kasten
