Chanteur Country US
né le 24 Juin 1960 ŕ Slaughters (Kentucky).
Chris Knight
is a singer/songwriter from the tiny mining town of Slaughters, KY, whose self-titled
debut album invited comparisons to
Steve Earle and
John Prine. Knight started on his musical journey at just three years old
when he requested a plastic guitar for Christmas. At 15, he became more serious
when he began teaching himself dozens of
John Prine songs on his older brother's guitar. After earning an agriculture
degree from Western Kentucky University, Knight went to work in land reclamation,
but in 1986 he heard
Earle on the radio and decided to try his hand at writing songs.
After six years of perfecting his story songs about the downtrodden of small-town
America, Knight came to Nashville and won a coveted spot on a songwriters' night
at the Bluebird Cafe. Performing songs like "Framed," which would eventually
wind up on his debut album, he caught the ear of Frank Liddell, who signed him
to a publishing deal with Bluewater Music. Knight went back home and kept
writing, and when Decca Records hired Liddell for an A&R position, Knight got a
record deal. When Decca released his self-titled debut in 1997, Knight still
lived in a house trailer on 90 acres in Slaughters. He has since become a
popular name in Americana music, releasing four more albums: his 1998 self-titled
sophomore effort, 2001's Pretty Good Guy, 2003's Jealous Kind, and 2006's Enough
Rope.
