Chris Knight, Enough Rope (* * * 1/2)
Chris Knight peoples Enough Rope with a small town’s worth of gritty characters trying to hang on to their love, their land and their pride. “There ain’t much of nothing left of this place where I became myself,” he sings in Rural Route. That sense of displacement pervades the album, from an old man’s resignation that the land he’s worked for a lifetime will be sold after he dies to a young man’s balled-up frustration and helplessness as he watches earth-movers tear apart his grandfather’s riverside farm to build a factory. Working in the best storytelling traditions of John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen, Knight sings of “dreams that will come true and some that won’t” — and not only the dreams, but also the life that comes in between them.
-USA Today
Labeling Chris Knight has never been easy. Trying to capture the blazing grace and gut-punch power of his music has often been the least easy of all. Yet over the course of five years and two acclaimed albums, critics and fans alike have taken the one-of-a-kind ride with Knight though a singularly vivid landscape of stark musical honesty. The bottom line remains the truth: Chris Knight is one of the most compelling singers, songwriters and performers in America today. And with his new album, The Jealous Kind, he brings it all together like never before
