Chris Knight's Enough Rope is a tribute to blue-collar America, to the simple life and to the desperate hardships and the unmatched joys that people who aren't part of it will never know. It's blatantly honest, often empathetic and frequently beautiful. The album never dips from its high level of songwriting skill, energy, and passion, though some ...
With Chris Knight's debut album, released on MCA Nashville's sister label Decca, critics of the new country sound of the late '90s began to hold out hope that Nashville could return to the genuineness that it had been so lacking for years. That hope was rooted partly in Knight's singing, full of country-rock phrasing clearly modeled after Knight's ...
A couple years before releasing his 1998 Decca debut, Chris Knight demoed some of his songs with that disc's eventual co-producer, Frank Liddell. These were the days before computer software made it easy for home recording, so Liddell wound up recording Knight in an old trailer on Knight's Kentucky farm. Ten years down the road, these tapes got ...
Ah, the return of true redneck rock. Chris Knight, who received more than a few kudos for his self-titled MCA debut, is back with a dirtier and more satisfying effort now that he's been allowed to record exactly what he wants. A victim of the MCA (and every other major label) "let's-throw-it-at-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks" theory of ripping off ...
Chris Knight's third album, The Jealous Kind, is of a piece with his first two, Chris Knight and A Pretty Good Guy. Once again, Knight sings in a throaty tenor with a Texas twang, a voice that will remind many listeners of Steve Earle. Doubling that resemblance are Knight's songs, which run to midtempo country-folk-rock arrangements of tunes with ...
Back in 1996 -- when he had yet to record his self-titled debut album for MCA -- Chris Knight recorded some demos in a trailer in his native Kentucky. It was nothing elaborate -- mostly just Knight on vocals and acoustic guitar -- but emotionally, the performances were worth their weight in gold. Some of those performances became commercially ...
Heart of Stone adds to Chris Knight's already impressive collection of hardscrabble songs reflecting life in rural, small town America. In the dozen tunes here, the Kentucky native explores, with an unflinching honesty, the lives of troubled ordinary folks. There's the meth-maker in "Hell Ain't Half Full" who sees a world where there's no law, no ...
