Chris Knight
The Jealous Kind (Dualtone)
The ragged characters in Chris Knight’s songs know all about hard luck. Liquor store robberies, dashed dreams, murdered brother-in-laws -- this definitely isn’t the feel-good hit of the year. But conflict is what creates a good story, and these stories are positively gripping. For those who flipped for Knight’s 1996 debut, pick this one up.
