Chris Knight - The Jealous Kind (2003)

Country singer-songwriter from Slaughters, Kentucky.

Chris Knight doesn't like to say much. Won't chat about his worldview or engage in conversations on his creative approach. For 14 years, 7 acclaimed albums and a hard-nosed career that's been hailed as "where Cormac McCarthy meets Copperhead Road", Knight has always let his music do most of the talking. His first album of new material in 4 years, Little Victories is a record of blunt honesty, elegiac truths, and the raw rural poetry of an artist who's come into his own and intends to stay. And for a performer who's been compared over the years to Cash, Prine, Earle, and Nebraska-era Springsteen, Knight now stands alone as a singer/songwriter that has carved his own idiosyncratic sound and sensibility out of the dirt road American dream. LIttle Victories not only sounds like a Chris Knight album, but the best Chris Knight album yet.
