Enough Rope

This record Rocks a little harder. Chris Knight says of his new album Enough Rope. And the body counts not as high, he adds with a laugh. The mere fact that the notoriously taciturn loner is laughing is indication enough of a surprising new maturity. Can it be that the singer/songwriter the New York Times once called the last of a dying breed a hard-nosed iconoclast with an acoustic guitar and a college degree has grown up? I think so, Chris admits. On this album, I did a lot of thinking about saying things that were less angry and maybe more rational. I'm not as pissed off as I used to be. I'm conscious of not wanting to become a caricature, and the songs on this album tell a different kind of story. Enough Rope is Chris Knight's fourth album. Produced by the legendary Gary Nicholson (Delbert McClinton) and engineered by Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle).
