He’s been around for years (he’s a year or two older than us) and he kicks ass. His wife (the lovely Tanya Rae) is a helluva musician in her own right. Junior invented the “Guitsteel” guitar, combining a regular guitar with a pedal steel guitar. Ungainly contraption that sits on a stand in front of him but he plays it like it was part of him. He also writes some truly inspired lyrics. My understanding is that he refuses to play the “big machine” corporate games and is just fine being a big star in Austin while playing small venues around the country. He is well worth exploring further.
