The average person really doesn't get how great he is. He is a master songwriter. His raw and edgy delivery and kentucky accent make his music brilliant. I got to meet him and hang out with him and Birmingham Alabama at Workplay theater. He's just a real guy loaded with Talent. I told him he was the reason I started songwriting and pursue my career in music. He was very humbled. He wished me the best and that meant a lot.

Phillip David Harris country singer/songwriter. If you like Chris Knight chances are I would like your music. Send me a link if possible. Interesting. Really great for me to hear of your experience with Chris Knight. He is my favorite singer/songwriter of all time. Unfortunately, chances are I’ll never see him live since I live in Napa, Ca. If you have any ideas let me know.

Huge fans of Chris for years , but being from Alberta we came to the conclusion, if we were ever going to see him live we were gonna have to go to him , so we hopped a flight and saw him twice ,both acoustic shows , once in Dickson and once in New Tazwell Tennessee . Well worth it ,would do it again in a heartbeat (and are planning future trip)....If you are a fan, you owe it to your self to see this man perform at least once in your life .

Chris Knight is one of the best songwriters of our time....... how he is not a household name is not only puzzling but a shame to all that have not heard him..... I have seen him several times (5 to be exact) and was even able to meet him a few weeks ago! He is an amazing singer, I only wish I had heard of him sooner. I request his music on our local radio channel every Saturday, just hoping to turn more people onto his music! He is definitely the most talented, underrated, unknown musician I have ever heard....... People are truly missing out, by not listening to his music!!!!

I hired Chris Knight with Chris Clark accompanying to play a benefit in my living room in Downtown Boston about 4 years ago. I've seen 100 plus live shows a year for decades and he is something very very special. His songwriting ranges from chillingly tragic to almost surreal love songs to both his home in Kentucky and loves from his past and imagination. They were both awesome guys, hung out eating and drinking beers after. It will always be one my most cherished musical experiences.

David Grissom from Louisville, KY originally. He played with Joe Ely in the mid to late 80s on a couple of albums. Ely was a must see act when Grissom was in the band. Fans of David Grissom should also check out the following albums which feature his guitar playing: 1987: Joe Ely "Lord of the Highway" 1988: Joe Ely "Dig All Night" 1989: James McMurtry "Too Long in the Wastelands" 1990: Joe Ely "Live at Liberty Lunch" 1991: John Mellencamp "Whenever we wanted" 1992: James McMurtry "Candyland" 1993: Joe Ely "Love and Danger"

This is probably 2003. I am basing this on the fact that Chris says the song A Train Not Running is from the new album (The Jealous Kind) coming out that year.

That telecaster of Grissoms' looks like it might have a little story telling of it's own it could do. I think it was you who traded me a copy of this about 10 years ago. I think I've watched it at least 20 times. Glad to see you uploaded it.
