Yep Joe's an underrated musician.... but what sets him apart is his compassion, personality and humour. The sort of chap you wish was your friend! An absence of ego, which sets him apart from many musicians....
Can't. Stop watching the man, last night at Liverpool Philharmonic was awesome yet again. Fabulous showman, funny guy with a fabulously talented band. Keep on rocking Joe x
We saw Joe in Barnstaple in January 2020. I don't know when we'll be in the theatre again!! I treasure the memories of that night - what a great performer
Saw Joe supporting Chas 'n' Dave in the early 90's at Skeg-Vegas (Skegness) He was great! I remember him before The Beatles. I'm of the understanding he used to see a doctor who lived across the road from me.
There was no denying that Joe was the Jimmy Page of his day. His band has toured for decades selling out arenas and for those who say he was underrated I know what Joe would say to that "ur having a laugh"
Joe's guitar is an ES 341 Gibson Stereo. It's basically an ES 335 but along with the four Volume and tone controls there is a selector switch which gives various stereo combinations. Yes Joe did start his Live Album taking a leak. I still have a copy. I saw him live last night in Potters Bar. Still sounds great.
Lead Guitar in a Jack Goode Show ?.....I don't know why he didn't mention it by name but he means "The Oh Boy Show" I waited all day in Liverpool for the LP to be delivered The first record i ever bought...(I was still in School).... Well before the Beatles
The most ridiculous thing to say , is that this man is an underrated guitarist . Like every other posting about musicians , when someone says , a particular player is underrated , it’s simply not true . You have to take into account , the amount of professional session players who admire him as a musician , and as a man . The big name stars he has played with .The thousands upon thousands of fans who have watched him on Tv , and flocked to see his sold out tours , which have done the circuit for years . The decline of your fame in the publics eye , doesn’t equate to being looked down upon , dismissed or passed by . It’s simply that the man came from a different era . So he’s not fashionable to kids . When you factor all these things into the summing up of his status in the world of popular music , you’ll find he’s a very long way from being under rated .
There 's also a fine clip of Joe Brown at The New Musical Express Poll winners Concert from 1964, doing 3 completely different tunes on CZcams. If only the mainstream acts were into being as eclectic these days. The independent ones are.
Joe Brown, singing "Samantha", is NOT "bloody horrible" as Joe said. It is good. If he put that on a CD or iTunes it could sell pretty well (with the proper advertising promotion).
Joe made a live recording 1963 he started the show in th bathroom taking a leak! it's true and the gig started with Halleluia i love her so infortunatly this record as disappeared from me and i 've never found it in the collectors shop anyone can help me
Anyone know what the show is (the Black&White footage) from in this interview where Joe sings without guitar ? Or if its available? Go to hear this full song.
I don't know when this was filmed but ... doesn't he look good, he's definately well preserved, wonder what his secret is!! Also ... on the B-side of one of his records is a track called Sicilian Tarrantella, it is just an instrumental, he played it at a concert I went to see, and part of it was played with the guitar on the back of his neck, it was amazing .... does anyone out there have a video of him doing that? if so please post it on CZcams !!!
Joe always comes across as a really decent guy and is swift to praise others. However, I read an interview with Sam Brown once and she hintd that he has a darker side to his personality. All said though, what a musically talented family he headed.
That is true, I met him once in a Hotel health club and he had some strange cucumber and mayo potion on his head to stimulate hair growth. Plus he farted a lot. Really.
He's very well known and respected in Nashville and Memphis.He's played with some of the greatest names in music history.But he's probably best known to American music fans as the guy who played loads of shows with Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent on their ill fated tour of England in 1960.Apparently Joe and Eddie hit it off well.
On top of his undeniable talent, he’s a genuinely lovely guy.
What a great guy Joe is....
There is nobody more professional on stage than Joe Brown.....superb entertainer and very underated guitarist

Absolutely totally agree

Joe Brown is a great musician and singer.

Joe gave his echo box to Hank Marvin because he couldn't get on with it. Glad he did. Joe is such a modest man and one of the true greats.
Can't. Stop watching the man, last night at Liverpool Philharmonic was awesome yet again. Fabulous showman, funny guy with a fabulously talented band. Keep on rocking Joe x
I started playin guitar cos of this man .
Still rockin 50 years on

We saw Joe in Barnstaple in January 2020. I don't know when we'll be in the theatre again!! I treasure the memories of that night - what a great performer
The guy is a legend. Very underated guitarist. Influenced many a Guitarist, George Harrison, and even Jmi Hendrix !
Stop it
Great to see Joe is still going, never get tired of listening and watching his videos
A truly great guitarist - just ask Keith Richards
Joe Brown. Lovely bloke, multi talented.
Joe Brown tremendous feller - probably Britain's first real rock & roll guitarist - love his stry about the cowboy boots Johnny Cash air-mailed him.

One of the old school, great guy and multi talented
Saw Joe once at the Three Rabbits in Manor Park, East London. He was performing with Steve Marriott, Vicki Brown and Sam Brown. Quite the evening 😊
Saw Joe at Darlington before the lock down, he was brilliant ,what a show, what an entertainer best night we had for a long time
We saw him in Barnstaple Devon in Jan 2020. I treasure memories of that night
Always the happy face , that’s Joe Brown 👍👍👍
Great stuff what a treat Joe and Jools!
Seen Joe so many times. The first time was at my old school at the time of her first big Gita, as he used to go there too.
There was no denying that Joe was the Jimmy Page of his day. His band has toured for decades selling out arenas and for those who say he was underrated I know what Joe would say to that "ur having a laugh"

That guitar lick he did when talking about the Johnny Cash song was cool! Probably dead easy to do if you can play, but nice all the same! :D

Joe Brown rules.
Joe Brown is great but the best thing he has done is giving the world his daughter, Sam Brown!!!
Lovely genuine bloke!

Top man is Joe
Maybe 'Oh Boy', 'Ready Steady Go', '6.05 Special' or even 'Thank Your Lucky Stars'?
Joe Brown, singing "Samantha", is NOT "bloody horrible" as Joe said. It is good. If he put that on a CD or iTunes it could sell pretty well (with the proper advertising promotion).
I thought it was dire. More rock.
The song was funny the movie "high society'"
Nice guy!
Joe made a live recording 1963 he started the show in th bathroom taking a leak! it's true and the gig started with Halleluia i love her so

Joe Brown Live Piccadilly NPL 38006 (Recorded at The Globe Theatre Stockton-on-Tees).
It's a Gibson ES-345, with varitone switch
You know what 26highstreet before I read your comment I was going to ask how the heck has he kept his hair so well...
@unlimitedguitar Looks like a Gibson 335 to me.

Did you find both of the others?
Don't get better than that

Who hasn't got a darker side fhs? We're all human, not god's.
@@michaelhale3773 I was thinking we've all got a darker side. Then I saw your reply! 🤣
hey the broadcast is on my birthday!
I'm tempted to say "underrated", but I'd be wrong. All the "rated" pros seem to think he is the business!
Under appreciated.
@26highstreet..... thats bollox isnt it?
I never heard of him. But that was very cool.
@unlimitedguitar
Gibson ES-335?
That is true, I met him once in a Hotel health club and he had some strange cucumber and mayo potion on his head to stimulate hair growth. Plus he farted a lot. Really.
How come Americer hasn't heard of him?
He's very well known and respected in Nashville and Memphis.He's played with some of the greatest names in music history.But he's probably best known to American music fans as the guy who played loads of shows with Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent on their ill fated tour of England in 1960.Apparently Joe and Eddie hit it off well.
Thanks for this good info!
GoddeSS God BleSS Joe Ii WormHolT Shepherd'S BuSh GeeZerGod
Thnks uk's best known"R&R'guitarist of the time until Keith Richards came along?
Big Jim Sullivan was also well known.
Most of the music you love was influenced by this guy.
How dare you try to sing Samantha
Lush accent! :)
