"Brother Jukebox" is a song written by Paul Craft. It was originally recorded by Don Everly, one-half of The Everly Brothers, in 1977 and reached number 96 on the country singles charts. It was later covered by Keith Whitley on I Wonder Do You Think of Me and by Mark Chesnutt on his 1990 debut album Too Cold at Home. Released in November 1990 as the album's second single, it became his first Number One country hit in the United States. It was also recorded by John Starling on his 1977 album Long Time Gone.
The song's narrator tells of a man who, after being left by his wife, addresses "brother jukebox", "sister wine", "mother freedom" and "father time" as the only family he has left in his life.
The music video was directed by Bill Young and premiered in late 1990.
