 28 years as a recording artist, singer-songwriter Chris Knight remains 
boldly empowered to make music that always delivers the unflinching 
truth. In fact, the man raised in Slaughters, Kentucky uses a simple, 
direct barometer to regularly check his muse: “If I can’t believe 
myself, I won’t sing the song.” That brutally honest, no-frills 
philosophy fits his Americana-fueled, backwoods-grown merger of folk, 
country, and rock. It’s been at the backbone of nine studio albums, 
beginning with 1998’s acclaimed self-titled debut and traveling through 
scorchers such as the one-two punch of 2001’s A Pretty Good Guy and 
2003’s The Jealous Kind, two demo-styled discs (2007’s The Trailer Tapes
 and 2009’s Trailer II), and the recent, electric guitar-fortified opus,
 2019’s Almost Daylight. Knight will hit the sonic highlights 
of his career in concert May 2 at 7pm (doors @ 6pm) at Eddie's Attic, 
515 N. McDonough Street in Decatur, GA. Tickets are $47.28; all ages 
are welcome.&nbsp; Because
 Knight’s music has always sat outside of the mainstream, onstage is 
where he makes his fans one show at a time. It is exactly where his 
searing tales of rural characters, fringe survivors, and tumultuous 
small-town existence find a captivated audience. A few edgy, raw gems 
that immediately come to mind are “It Ain’t Easy Being Me,” “Carla Came 
Home,” “I’m William Callahan,” and “Everybody’s Lonely Now,” the latter 
two from Almost Daylight. “I’ve written songs about a lot of 
different things going all the way back to my first record,” he says, 
“and some folks still think ‘somebody kills somebody’ is all I write 
about.”
 What
 Knight writes about is what he knows. He was raised in mining country, 
so it’s no surprise that he would earn a degree in agriculture from 
Western Kentucky University and then work as a mine reclamation 
inspector and then miner’s consultant. But eventually his passion for 
writing songs and playing guitar, both inspired by his musical hero, the
 late John Prine, led him to chronicle his surroundings in words and 
music. 
 “I came from a big family and grew up in the woods six miles from two small towns, so there were a lot of stories,” he says. “There were always a lot of ideas to write about.” Those
 ideas have earned Knight praise from publications such as The New York 
Times (“the last of a dying breed…a taciturn loner with an acoustic 
guitar and a college degree”) and USA Today (“a storyteller in the best 
traditions of Mellencamp and Springsteen”), to name a few. Like his 
beloved Prine, whom Knight duets with on Prine’s chestnut “Mexican 
Home,” the cut that closes Almost Daylight, Knight fits comfortably in 
Texas honky-tonks, downtown Nashville venues, and cool Manhattan rock 
clubs. It’s no wonder that Knight has single-handedly scraped a 
reputation as one of America’s most uncompromising and respected 
singer-songwriters through 23 years and nine studio albums. He’s done 
this minus fanfare and artifice. The native son of Slaughters, Kentucky 
(population: 238) only sings songs he believes. He also speaks only when
 he has a potent message. “If I don’t have something worth 
saying, I’m not opening my mouth. I haven’t suited everybody, but every 
time I get a new fan it tells me I’m doing something right. I think all 
my records have set a precedent, if only for me at the very least. I 
just want people to think the latest one stands up to everything else 
I’ve done.”
