Highway Patrol  - Junior Brown - 1995  - (Album -  Junior High)

It's National Police Week, so what better song to feature than Junior Brown's 1995 hit, Highway Patrol- that wasn't a chart hit at all, but listeners loved it.  We'll play this one for all our police friends and families.  This did not chart well, but fans loved JB, and so did the Grammy's. This album, Junior High, over a 2-year period had 3 Grammy nominations including Best Country Album.  He also won the CMA Video Of The Year, 1996.  Brown is an incredible guitar player, and he still tours and plays the guitar he built himself, The Guit Steel guitar.  Brown is an act way outside the norm, and next to his guitar playing he has that booming and distinctive baritone voice.  I've seen him in concert a few times and he's a master entertainer and flat out fun to watch.  He never had any chart success, but with video, TV, and live performing he found a following.  This song is fun, the video is too and yes, that's his wife playing guitar with him.  Guys like Brown somehow find a fan base that become extremely loyal.  Then they find fans outside of country because of his eclectic persona, style, and sound. He is an incredible talent even though radio success eluded him, he's a first class musician, and fans love this song.  I have been a fan for years.  Perfect song for the Forgotten Jukebox!
