“Broke Down South of Dallas” from the album 12 Shades of Brown, released in 1993

Junior Brown plays the “guit-steel” double neck guitar, a hybrid of electric guitar and lap steel guitar. That should really be enough to get your interested.

But wait. There’s more!

His lyrics are oftentimes irreverent and fun and offer a sardonic view of life. “Broke Down South of Dallas” is one of his best when it comes to that concept. The story of a man whose wife doesn’t suffer his nonsense is both entertaining and educational.

Why don’t you come on up and give it a listen?
