    I Agree With All The Fans Of C.K. To Me Words Aren't Enough To Describe How Much I Love Listening To C.K. And I Agree The New Popcorn Country On The Radio Airwaves Don't Get It. Out West Still Appreciates And Knows What Heart Felt Country Music Is. I Couldn't Handle Your HOT HOT HOT Weather But I Love The Soul And Heart Texas,Oklahoma,Nebraska,Arkansas, And The Rest Of The U.S.A States Out There Have. This Music Drives Me Crazy But Keeps Me Sane.

    Thanks for watching. CK's brand of honest country music has found great acceptance as Texas music. However, he was raised and lives in Slaughters, Kentucky. As a fellow Kentuckian, sometimes, I get wrongfully upset with Texans trying to claim him as theirs but, then, I remember the Kentucky Music Hall Of Fame is full of artists not born in Kentucky.
    I hear 200,000 artists make cd's each year and only 2000 sell more than 500 copies. There's a lot of good stuff in those 198,000 no one knows about.

    Thanks for watching and the compliment on making the video. I am thrilled that somebody appreciates them.
    If you ever get to see him, take your cd cases to the show and get him to sign them. He takes the time after (almost) every show to meet with every fan who stays.To his fans, he's one of the most generous artists I've ever seen.
    I've recorded CK 6 times. I wish I knew how to do better before. Since this show I've gotten even better and, now, would like to video him with a bunch of cameras.

      Shawn Graham Thanks for watching. We made these fan videos 6 1/2 years ago. I'd love to make some more if the opportunity arises. Personally, I turned people onto his music by passing out homemade cd's and dvd's of his shows. I've badgered local radio stations and local music venue operators, taken friends to his shows all over Kentucky and recorded 6 or 7 of his shows to post, here, on TH-cam. I sincerely hope you get your wish of a Michigan show. Maybe you could talk to some of your favorite local music venue operators. Good luck!

    Thanks for watching. I think the comments are generalities. Most folks listen to commercial radio and Chris's music, for a long time, has not fit on most commercial radio playlists outside of Texas. Over the years, his music has found success....just not with him singing his own songs.
    He has rabid fans all over the globe. I've had dialogue with them all over the planet. I'm one of them. Sounds like your one, too. I always hold out hope that he gains a wider appeal to music fans. Keep spreadin'.

Hes absolutely one of the best ever. I love his music and I BUY it often.

      Sadie, I'm glad you found your spot! I'm thrilled to have been able to make these videos and, then, someone enjoy them. I spend a lot of time in the forest. I consider myself an adventure hiker. I've spent many an hour walking along creeks to waterfalls. I've found my way around a lot of caves and watched a lot of sunsets from overlooks. My favorites, tho, are the hundreds of sandstone arches we have, here, in Kentucky. When I hike, I carry rope. Ha! Get outside! You'll be happier.

    Chris Knight, by all accounts, is a get what you hear and see kind of guy. Although he discredits most of his songs as character studies, I believe, there has to be some thread of life experience lurking in the shallow depths of, at least, some of these dark tales. You need to check out the rest of his stuff.

    Some of those people drove from Chicago and other far flung places. Not many around here, regretfully, know who he is. He don't get a lot of airplay in these parts. The homeless crowd was well represented, though. Quite a few of the rest of the crowd came with me or at my urging.
    Music is deeply personal. It's okay that other folks don't like the music I love. Lord knows, I surely hate the shit getting pumped out of their speakers by commercial radio! Thanks for watching. Paul

    Yeah. Chris Knight is great. I've been lucky that he comes relatively close to Mobile on a regular basis that I can catch him from time to time. Still, it's a 2+ hour drive to Hattiesburg and a 4+ to Birmingham. I wish he'd come through Mobile. At least we get good music through here. Saw Steve Earle, Robert E Keen, and Justin Townes Earle just last year . Something about Chris Knight though. I really appreciate your video.
