Description:
Chris Knight`s fourth album, Enough Rope, solidifies his place along premier heartland songwriters like Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp. In fact, Knight, a Kentucky-native, might have most in common with Mellencamp`s exploration of life in the unglamorous small towns that inhabit the middle of the US. Knight`s finest moments of this album - "Jack Blue", "Dirt", and "William`s Son") - showcase a highly skilled writer who paints an aural picture so explicit you can smell the dirt being turned by heavy machinery. Like his peers, Knight writes songs that are both mini-dramas and hook-filled. This is a keeper. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles Of Music (Drifter`s Church)
