One of the 3 best artists/bands in this business. The last two times Vinny saw him at the Dog, the crowd chanted his name for him to come back onstage for an encore. That is very rare, but says alot about Chris Knight. Once was when he was doing an acoustic set with Randy Rogers and Jason Boland. Chris Knight was the name being called. Bad ass mofo right there.

I stumbled onto Chris Knight by accident. Sort of. Back when Kazaa was in it's heyday, I ran a search on alt country and came up with a bunch of bootlegs I'd already heard, a few that weren't worth listening to, and a couple of Chris Knight songs...Framed & Love and a .45. He'd already released his 2nd CD by that time; I bought them both. Bought the next 3 as soon as they came out. I've turned a lot of people on to him since then, I've yet to hear anything but praise for his music (even from my know-it-all musician friend who thinks EVERYBODY sucks). Who says bootlegged music is bad for the industry? If it costs Garth Brooks a few bucks...cry me a river. If it gets more artists like Chris some much needed exposure, I say bring it on. Not that I wouldn't have caught on to Chris Knight by now anyway; I'm really just tired of having to pay good money to check out the latest "alt-country" artists, most of whom collectively amount to a bunch of talentless crap merchants. My allottment of time on the soapbox has expired, so...Happy Festivus, homies. BTW, my know-it-all musician friend who actually admitted he likes Chris Knight? He's a big Roger Clyne fan, you might want to check him out if you're not familiar with him...he's worth a listen.

Funny thing about Chris Knight, I had never heard of this guy and video of Framed came on CMT (they don"t have Texas Music Television). I left the second it was over and drove from record shop to record shop to buy the first album and it has been on my top 5 ever since. That had to be around 1997 or 1998. In my opinion Chris Knight, is the John Cash, of today, it's just that the Nashville scene sucks so bad that mainstream folks have never heard of him. He is raw talent and I am glad he keeps puttin' out good music. Chris Knight is a living legend.

it does NOT get any better.

No

Sorry, I meant singer-songwriter.

Is there a better songwriter out there?

Did you even read the cover. This album was created literally with a microphone and a recorder in his trailer. That comment is about as bright as complaining there is audience applause on a live albumn. As for more of the same. This album was recorded ten years ago. So it is kind of funny to say that it is rehashed. There is a huge differnce between enough rope and the first three albums. Any way. Chris is great. Nothing else needs to be said.
