Labeling Chris Knight has never been easy. "Americana" just sounds too distant, too souvenir-shop-like, for this tough, unpretentious performer. Trying to capture in words the grace and gutsy power of his music has been a hard task in itself. Yet critics and fans alike have taken a ride with Knight though a vivid landscape of stark musical honesty. On his album "The Jealous Kind," wrote Angie Glover of the Nashville Rage, "Knight keeps true to his Kentucky roots by weaving urban tales from the dark side." "When I first heard Chris at a songwriter's night at The Bluebird Cafe," remembers producer Frank Liddell, "I thought I was hearing John Prine and Steve Earle rolled into one. Here was this coal mine inspector from rural Kentucky who was writing these incredible songs." Come to the show and pick up the recently released "Trailer II," the second batch of legendary songs recorded in the summer of 1996 in Chris's singlewide trailer outside of his hometown of Slaughters, Kentucky.
