Review

Like other masters of the musical narrative--from Steve Earle to Bruce Springsteen (and John Prine to Robert Earl Keen)--Chris Knight somehow compresses a short story's worth of character and detail into each song. On his third album, the native Kentuckian teams with former Georgia Satellite Dan Baird and co-producer Joe Hardy (who has engineered for Earle and ZZ Top) to forge a sound that fuses country twang with rock propulsion. Ultimately, it's the power of the hard-hitting songcraft that distinguishes Knight, with highlights that range from the plainspoken desperation of the title track to through the life-affirming exhilaration of "Banging Away" to the bittersweet exhilaration of "Staying Up All Night Long" and the fatalism of "Devil Behind the Wheel" (with co-writer Matraca Berg on chorus harmony). These are songs of hardscrabble honesty, hard-won wisdom, and unvarnished eloquence, as Knight gives characters who aren't particularly introspective their truest voice. --Don McLeese
