Chris Knight is criminally underrated. Consistent, quality, beautifully American music.
@Bo Cephus Love your screen name--every time I see it it makes me smile!!
He’s telling a story. In small towns, in the backwoods, justice will be served.
This song should be a movie
You pointed out one of the two best lines in the song, "I'm thinkin' Wilson's cousin, better find a place to hide". It's a veiled threat, but coupled with the best line in the song, cements the fact that Walter's brother is a stone cold badass. And the best line is "and five years later, I ain't told a soul." Wilson "bragged around town" and ended up tied to an anvil. Something very bad is gonna happen to Wilson's cousin, and if you paid attention, you KNOW its gonna happen.
Needs to be more of that now adays
chris knight is an amazing musician and singer and song writer another good kentucky boy
So glad you did Chris Knight. He's an amazing storyteller
Every song this man has written sounds completely different . This song and North Dakota could be called redneck symphonies by the way the violin builds in volume to emphasize important points in the story. Amazing writer. His music will continue to gain in popularity as time go's on.
Chris Knight is among the best at story telling and an expert lyricist; if not a good song writer he could be an excellent fiction writer.
I'd love to see knight, Matt Mason, and Cody jinks together
this was my first song of his i ever heard.. Chris knight has become my favorite artist and inspired me to wright and play more thx chris ..
“North Dakota” and “Enough Rope” are two great songs to hear more of Chris Knights work. You should try out some Tyler Childers. “Feathered Indians” or “Nose to the Grindstone”.
I'm gonna do some Tyler Childers soon. Thanks for the rec!
Chris' story and they way he presents it, leaves you wondering is this a confession of a true event or something he thought up. I live in Kentucky and on the Mississippi River, and this is the kind of folks you run into. They take care of matters themselves, like this. The law failed them so they took matters into their own hands. I'm sure there are other areas in the country that rural folks, if they don't get the justice they feel is needed, will take matters into their own hands. Again, especially in middle and eastern KY, you have hard working, no B.S. folks who just do things a bit different than the rest of the country, and you don't mess with them unless you want a war. They will give you a direct, honest answer and expect a direct, honest answer, but you mess with someone's family, you've started a war, whether you want one or not!
I'm from Florida, but after living on the TN/KY line, I've seen and heard things that ring true with this story. Tit for tat feuds are so damn common. In fact my roommate told me a story eerily similar to this song, and i never really had want reason to doubt him. Such sad stories, but i guess that's just our nature as humans.
Sorry I’m late to the party thanks for reaction love it.. Wendel and Cody got great taste in music
This guy can really tell a story... I love this and Hard Edges a lot!
Met Chris and Steve Earle the same night and got em to sign my guitar strap! Man that was a great show.
@Justin Smith Well that's a complete evening, man!!
Couldn’t get any better then that.
Let me hear someone else throw out lyrics like this. Wonderful stuff. Good luck in today's PC world.
Shit Chris night comes to everyone of our bonfires, I'm sure he knows it.
Best songwriter ever!!!
You got that right this song could have came out recently & you wouldn't know, C.K. IS A BADASS!
That violin is so beautiful
It’s country it’s a fiddle
You can see in your eyes and the wringing of your hands your subconsciously fighting the urge to call the police!
Good Country music
Wonderfully Written Song….
And
A Well Orchestrated Lyrics Delivery.
Phenomenal Story Teller,
Wilson’s Cousin may have forgotten
But Walter’s Brother has not…
And he’s about to go down the River Again!!!
One of my favorite songs of all time right here.
Chris knight is amazing! And lives about 20 minutes from me lol. Framed, a pretty good guy, Becky’s bible, it ain’t easy being me are all fantastic songs!
P.S slaughters is a quiet little farm town, nice place to live.
Gotta admit, I'm a little jelly.
Yes! “It ain’t easy being me” is one of his best!
great story in It ain't easy being me
This is a very haunting, scary sort of song - so typical of old country - family feuds and as you said - he is not in prison - as yet ! Interesting one x
People versus people, the story of mankind.
Chris knight is who at total random got me into the genre. What’s crazy about Chris Knights stuff is it’s a whole ecosphere. Most of the songs relate to another. Characters, etc. it’s crazy thought out.
I can still recall the time this song showed up to me at random. That was like 8 years agoish at this point. But this one song totally changed my musical interest trajectory.
@@ecfeick1
His first single “Framed” from his 1998 debut album did the same for me. Although I think all of his albums are great that first one just has something extra special about it.
Some more good ones are North Dakota, Becky’s Bible, Hard Candy. Chris Knight is a good song writer. He wrote Montgomery Gentry’s hit “She couldn’t change me”
Love his entire body of work.
Slaughters ky he still lives there, you gotta do something off his newest album, or you could react to all of his albums every single song. There isn’t a single bad one I swear
My guess at this song is a bit different. He talks about 5 years later and not wet a line. After killing Wilson at age 18 he took off and pulled a hitch in the Marines and an extra year with a contractor (KBR, Triple Canopy...). Now he knows a lot more he will be looking for Wilson's cousin. And had the thought in the back of his head about what he did every time the Drill Instructor yelled about killing.
Since you won't rate it I will.
Full of emotion and simply badass.
@Dick Dastardly What’s your number rating for it?
Saw him preform this live here in Virginia when I was in 6th grade - ran into my geography teacher at the show
@Sam Lewis LOL on running into your teacher at the show!!
Love this song
Lucero I'll just fall great band great song
Actually Down the River was on his 2011 album. But I would suggest you listen to the song 'William' from his 1998 album.
Thanks for the heads up--so much misinformation on the internet, but at least I got the song right. ;-)
RockN2Country “William” hits you like no other song. I highly recommend it.
No, it’s most definitely on A Pretty Good Guy from 2001, and he didn’t even release an album in 2011. Little Victories came out in 2012.
Chris Knight...... Long Black Highway. If you like dark songs. I do. So it's one of my favorites of his.
This makes me cry
When Chris Knight is on, there's no one better
Thank you for this song. My favorite of his.
One of my favorite songs
Chris Knight is the real deal; period!!!
Excellent review!! I love how you described the violin. It’s haunting, but beautiful. I suggest Cowboy Junkies song,”To Love Is To Bury”. To me, it’s the most beautiful arrangement I’ve heard, in my 66 years. Another great ballad is “Lights Of Loving County”, by Charlie Robison. One more sad ballad, is “Broken Window Serenade”,, by Whiskey Myers. I think you’ll appreciate the Music, and the stories.👍😎
You know what I like! Cody Jinks and Chris Stapleton are great story tellers. Hell yes. Down The River has been in my playlist for a long time.
His new album “almost daylight” came out 2019 and is good the whole thing just like his other albums
BOW HOWDY THAT'S SOME TEXAS COUNTRY. It doesn't make a damn where you're from
I like this song.
I know this is an older video but have you heard house and ninety acres yet?
To bad you took so long to discover Chris. I find if you don’t listen to the pop country radio you will discover more very talented artists
good song. 'North Dakota' one of his best
Great reaction 👍🏻❤️‼️.
Another great family feud song is "Decoration Day" by Drive by Truckers (Jason Isbell's old band)
@NathanThurber I did that one a while back. Hit the search function and it should take you do it. Enjoy!
That’s definitely a great song.
North Dakota same album.
bydand1987 Great song! So dark!
it;s a super simple song, but damn is it good.
Kind of sad you don’t know Chris Knight. He and his genre (like Sturgil Simpson) are the real country.
Thanks for doing the song
Yes sir, you're welcome!
He sounds like mellincamp
You need to listen to Chris Knight - framed, hard edges, or heart of stone
If you pay attention he feels that happens and thinks it could happen one day
He even plays that better live !!
I hope so cause I’m going to see him next November when he visits Atlanta
I think its more about getting rid of the bodies. Hence the whole line about tying an anchor to wilsons feet! I rate this song an 11 out of 10
You head up river when you go to the penitentiary
If you drain a river imagine what you would find. Check out clay pigeons. It where this kind of music started from many years ago, from a musician named Blaze Foley and his best friend Towns vanzandt
@Scotty2jobs Scotty2jobs Here's the reaction I did a little while back to "Clay Pigeons." Enjoy, and welcome to the channel!! th-cam.com/video/Q6rf_BvfldE/w-d-xo.html
‼️❤️🏈🐘 ROLL TIDE 🐘🏈❤️‼️
Did sound like Neil Young in the beginning. Hatfield and McCoy reference was appropriate.
Brilliant minds and whatnot--ha!!
You might check out his first two albums, Trailer Tapes, 1 & 2. They are only him and a guitar. I find his songs and style to be much better suited to that format. I don't care as much for his studio work or with a band. He is a strange blend, with the sound, and language, of a Kentucky coal miner's son...blended with ability to create Shakespeare level tradedy and irony. That contrast really appeals to me. Those are very much his best work... imho.
If you like this check out "Decoration Day" by Jason Isbell
On the other side of death there’s life so I would suggest looking at Jake Bartley BATLEY the way I live
Check out Jason Eady "Promises In Pieces"
I think you made a good comparison role seem like a Neil young song.
Check out Houston Marchman 2 Dollar Pistol
Its sad you can’t blame me
Na thats great storytellin. Ud do the samme
Roll Tide!
On to fb hypeman out
Gracias, mi amiga!!
Now do "we aint even kin" by benjamin tod
@Nadakai I've looked into doing songs of Benjamin's, but they are so new that they are likely to be blocked. If there's anything older of his let me know and I'll look into it. Thanks, and welcome aboard the channel!
@@RockN2Country okay! Try "bring back someday" by lost dog street band. Same dude but with his gal, and a lot older of a song!
Is this actually a true story??
@SILLY BUBBY69, good question. I was trying to figure that out myself.
Yes it is
"up the river" means going to prison. Not "down the river".
No offense but 13 minutes and the only significant comment was speculating this is some cryptic message about going to prison?
@Nick Landry Sometimes that's what happens when doing true reactions. I don't pre-listen to songs to get a head start on my reactions, and I don't look at the lyrics, either---they're genuine reactions. If I have ideas I share them, if I don't, which is rare, I don't. If I'm confused I say I'm confused--pretty simple and nothing made up. Reacting to videos is a funny thing, and it's not unique to me, since other reactors deal with it, too---say too much and people tell us to STFU, say too little and someone might take exception to that, too. You're the first person to comment that I say too little, so I suppose not all reactions are going to work for everyone. Sometimes people love my comments but hate the song, other times they love the song and don't like my comments. C'est la vie.
@@RockN2Country Fair enough. As a huge CK fan, I have listened to this song literally dozens of times and never once has your "prison" angle crossed my mind. As we all know, there's no right or wrong interpretation of any song (or piece of any art for that matter). I just thought it was a curious take, that's all. C'est le vie indeed!
@Nick Landry There are still Led Zeppelin songs that I've been listening to my whole life that I still have no clue what the lyrics are! Funny thing is, I have friends who were HUGE Zeppelin fans back int he day, and recently they said the same thing, that some of the songs they don't even know what the heck Plant is saying. Every so often a song will come down the pike that takes a few listens, and if there's any genre that seems to do that more than others, it's country. Some of these songwriters go so deep, and use words in such creative ways, that I'm always looking to see if there's a double entendre or an expression that changes the meaning of what I'm hearing. Add to this that I'm doing it on camera while listening to a song for the first time, and I'm gonna look pretty dumb sometimes. Kinda goes with the territory. But usually I pick up on things, and as I've grown with the channel I'm learning which artists have a tendency to do some brilliant things with words and which artists are more linear.
@@RockN2Country
I have a question then? In the song Decoration Day by Drive-By Truckers/Jason Isbell did the singer of the song actually shoot his own father?
