The first time I ever heard Chris Knight's music was in a random bar in North Carolina, just Chris, another dude, and two guitars. A humble bar crowd, my friend and I leaning against a pool table 8' from the two, and a line of like 20 beers in front of them on the floor. Afterwards, he talked with us, and drank a few more. Forever a favorite memory, especially since my friend passed away a few years ago at 27 years old. We were in our early 20s at the time.

[@LEDIMUS]

That number 27, what is it with so many good people die so young at that age? Coincidence or not it's too damn young! Sorry about your friend. Great memories like that are the real treasures of life. Cherish every opportunity you get to make a memory with someone you love. And don't take Lyrica for nerve pain it destroys that area of our brain that houses and stores memories. Trust me I'm living the results myself! Great song either way!

[@cfh76cw]

I met him in 2001 he was the main person that influenced me to country music I was going through hard times back then he drank a couple beers with me and we had a good conversation ever since then he's always have my respect

[@beefpits1]

this guy needs more credit , been listening to him for years he's the man!! amazing artist and song writer , if i had the cash id be in texas listening to him in a heart beat

[@isaiasnelson3941]

i guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch new series online?

[@mattreynolds6307]

Amen. People like him don't come around everyday if ever.. Whose gonna fill His Shoes!!

[@corndawg779]

I discovered Chris back in 08. Back in KZbin prime. How he hasnt risen to beyond fame is mind boggling. I would love to see him live. Never have

[@ericparrish1515]

Lookin left🙋

[@charlesbolton8471]

@@corndawg779 He’s excellent live. I’ve seen him twice. I don’t know how many shows a year he plays, but he gets around. My advice if really want to see him live use his website to stay updated with where he’s playing. He isn’t going to play big venues (unless it’s some type of festival maybe). My most recent time seeing him was on Dec. 2, 2022 at a venue that I didn’t even know existed about 40 miles from where I live. The first time was in 2014 while I was living in Memphis, and he played a small bar within walking distance from my apartment. Both shows were amazing, and if you really love his music you owe to yourself to see him live.

[@jrun26301]

The working man’s musician.

[@johnwbirkla6053]

You might wanna think about getting urself a shotgun, you might wanna think about growing you a garden patch, you might have to kill something and drag it home!" The same advice my pops gave me growing up on the banks of the Ohio River when " I was busy waiting on a good time" somehow between pops and Chris they got the msg acrossed to a hard headed hillbilly boy and I'll always be thankful I was told!! Chris Knight is the best songwriter since John Prine, and has never sold out or compromised his msg or his roots. Blue collar outlaw from West KY!! Fuck Nashville!!

[@mikethornhill2481]

Paints a great story with words,like ronnie vanzant🎅

[@TeamDuckMeat]

Amen brother

[@go13ok]

When life gets crazy I lock myself in the garage, grab a cold beer and throw on some chris knight.

[@judyhauser6221]

[@lancewadethomas8709]

Damn right!

[@Rauoul]

For me it's out on my deck.

[@lstuart2704]

damn right. I sit in the bed of my '98 GMC and look at the desert moon

[@RafaelValore]

Chris, cheers from Brazil, brother. I was institutionalized for 6 months for alcohol, I'm trying hard working in real state, now. Pray for me, buddy. I didn't forget your music, and I'll never will.

[@jimdena08]

Mr. Knight is the man.. words are pure and so is his music.

[@ramseydaugherty6642]

Check out Robert Earle Keen

[@lumaz71]

C'mon Chris, we need a new album! :)

[@mattreynolds6307]

Chris Knight is a gift from God! For the whole Country his Wisdom speaks from his Heart to yours. I can't thank him enough, and that's the Damn Truth... From a Kentucky born and raised feller like myself.

[@adrianmiller6641]

Keep the Lord in your heart and your powder dry...

[@JakeShellDotCom]

Chris Knight is the GOAT.

[@imskeptic1]

Chris Knight totally rules. Don't you ever forget it

[@bulletdgw742]

This guy writes and sings from the heart

[@buckshottv3420]

they used to say dylan was a poet...chris knight is the workin' man's poet....

[@mattmiller5215]

The views...I can't believe it......should be in the millions.

[@TheKdillard01]

Chris knight is my favourite singer/ songwriter. This song hits home . I'm cocked locked and ready to rock. Prey to God it never comes to that.

[@georgemoore8832]

If you want to live in peace, be ready for war. on your feet or on your knees- the choice is ours.

[@jx3s300]

Chris Knight is a real artist. Straight out of my home town. His music is real. You won't see main stream artist like him. Why is that? Because his music speaks the truth about life. I have tons of respect and support him for sticking to his guns about music.

[@shelley985]

Chris, Thank you for your music. I appreciate the way you sing about the real things in life, and how you address the tough stuff. Shelley

[@ericparrish1515]

New favorite singer

[@shawnpaul7679]

I dig it...a lot. I'm glad there's still some good country music out there. This proves that you don't necessarily have to be super-traditional to be country, but you do have to sing REAL songs.

[@ken5mac]

Good Message. I hope everyone will wake up.

[@billylovin6389]

Keep the Lord in your heart. And your powder dry.

[@weldcerts]

Render unto ceaser only what you got to. That's some truth right there.

[@kidcountry85]

Part of this was filmed in Nashville on Dickerson Road. Thats the old kroger and an old shopping center thats been closed 20 years or more. I worked at a Hills grocery store across from it for about 10 years (left there in 2011 to work at a more rural location). That whole neighborhood goes perfect with this song

[@taylorgray6234]

They should put him on the radio

[@whenpigsfly860]

He is visibly uncomfortable having to make this video. Which makes me like him even more. 100% real.

[@MustangCoupe1951]

I have loved Chris for years - this one gives me chills. He just gets better.

[@calebhamlin6296]

i absolutely love this sing because it speaks the truth, do your good in the mean time!.

[@alfredsenteno327]

This is the shit! Always wanted a tattoo that says keep the Lord in your heart and keep your powder dry.

[@louisianaprepper]

In the mean time ,we are still putting on our boots,grabbing our saws and and trying our best everyday!! See you when you come back to Louisiana.........Great song!!!

[@maniyan_wanagi]

Thanks, Chris - from all of us out here who live in the meantime.

[@lindseykraemer]

not a lot of good music like this no more wish there was

[@28happenstance]

Lindsey Kraemer Ugh, saying sorry ahead of time, but here goes. I hate when I hear this, because it is just untrue. Arguably, there is a ton of not good, but fucking great music out there right now. The reason? Well, unarguably there is more music being played and recorded than any other time in the history of the world. The thing is you can't be lazy and need to go out and look for it. There is "good" music for everyone, no matter their tastes. Chances are that music is not going to just find you, especially if you only listen to terrestrial radio, or even satellite radio. If you don't use Pandora or Spotify, start using at least one of them. If you already do and still think, "not a lot of good music no more", well I don't know what to tell you. I guess you just hate music. Ha.

[@cedriccbass-jp8ky]

This song is so prevalent now

[@OutdoormanPT87]

I've been pulling on those bootstraps of mine a lot recently. This song is for all of us out there trying to do things the hard way. Thanks for the great music Chris. P.S. that line about "render unto Caesar" is probably one of my top 5 favorite lyrics. Mat 22:21

[@michaeldudun8580]

Capital Hill should be made to listen to this song every morning before they proceed with the destruction of this great land

[@helendebord9349]

Truer today than 3 yrs ago for damn sure

[@helendebord9349]

Amen

[@123irishman]

Render unto Caesar no more than you have to, keep God in your heart and keep your powder dry.... Good advice in the new USSA.

[@MikeKelsoJr]

This man sings and plays from the heart !!👍
