Chris Knight -

Born, raised and still lives - with his wife and children - in a trailer on 40 wooded acres, six miles outside of Slaughters, Kentucky, a remote coal-mining town of 200 people. His songs ring true and effective thanks to Knight's authentic, husky voice - think Steve Earle without the soapbox under his boots. The characters on this moving album don't talk out of both sides if their mouth. They're straightforward and honest in an often dishonest and dirty world.
