Life and career
Brown was born in Cottonwood, Arizona, and his family moved to Kirksville, Indiana, at an early age. He learned piano from his father (Samuel Emmons Brown Jr.) "before you could talk." His music career began in the 1960s, and he spent time with bands such as The Last Mile Ramblers, Dusty Drapes, and the Dead, Billy Spears, and Asleep at the Wheel while improving his guitar skills. He appeared on stage with Rank and File in the early 1980s as the replacement for Alejandro Escovedo. However, he did not appear on any of the band's albums.
Brown was teaching guitar at Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma, by the mid-1980s.
Brown developed a new breed of double-neck guitar in 1985, with some assistance from Michael Stevens. Brown referred to the instrument as his "guit-steel." Brown plays the guitar when performing, while it rests on a small music stand. The top neck of the guit-steel is a traditional six-string guitar, while the lower neck is a full-size lap steel guitar for slide playing. Brown has two guit-steels for recording and live work. The original instrument, dubbed "Old Yeller," has the following neck and pickups from Brown's previous stage guitar, a Fender Bullet, as part of the standard six-string guitar version. The second generation of the Bullet neck has a neck laser-copied from the Bullet neck; but, both the standard and lap-steel necks use identical Sho-Bud lap-steel pickups. When the slide bar is not in use, there is a pocket in the upper portion of the guitar to hold it. Brown has also ordered a "pedal guit-steel" that adds pedals to the device to give it more musical control. Brown has stated that the invention of the guit-steel was always a matter of convenience, so he could play both lap steel and lead guitar during live performances rather than being motivated by a desire to be a "one man band."
Brown, the Continental Club's house band, became a local celebrity in Austin, Texas. 12 Shades of Brown (1990), the British Demon Records' debut on Brown's debut in the United States, was re-released on Curb Records in the United States in 1993, followed by Guit with It.
