Chris Knight - Little Victories

2012 album from the Country favorite. Chris Knight doesn't like to say much. Won't chat about his worldview or engage in conversations on his creative approach. For 14 years, seven acclaimed albums and a hard-nosed career that's been hailed as "where Cormac McCarthy meets Copperhead Road", Knight has always let his music do most of the talking. His first album of new material in 4 years, Little Victories is a record of blunt honesty, elegiac truths, and the raw rural poetry of an artist who's come into his own and intends to stay. And for a performer who's been compared over the years to Cash, Prine, Earle, and Nebraska-era Springsteen, Knight now stands alone as a singer/songwriter that has carved his own idiosyncratic sound and sensibility out of the dirt road American dream. LIttle Victories not only sounds like a Chris Knight album, but the best Chris Knight album yet.
