The Trailer Tapes
Kentucky born and raised, Chris Knight makes straight-ahead country music dripping with heartache. He shuns the bright lights of Nashville and the glitz of LA, making music that is earthy, the moods often dark and biting. This is back roads country...tales of small-town life whre the stop signs are almost back-to-back. Song topics cover murder, familyeit s, old loves and how some families have devoted their lives to working the land only for the bank to foreclose.
Unrelenting in his vocal style, Knight yields nothing in his desire to tell his stories in a simple and direct fashion, none finer than 'Here Comes The Rain' and Rita's Only Fault'. Not intended for commercial release originally, after eleven years in storage and with a little arm-twisting Knight has relinquished the recordings and allowed us to enjoy a real treat. Nashville, eat your hearts out, for this is how real country music should sound
