2007 s The Trailer Tapes would become one of the best-selling and acclaimed
albums of Knight s entire career. Critics hailed it as everything from as stark
and brutally honest as Springsteen s Nebraska (The Philadelphia Enquirer) to
the sound of Hank Williams with a gun and a Vicodin script (The Houston
Press). Chris Knight s not-to-be-missed Trailer Tapes lets nothing get in the
way of a great singer and his songs, wrote Ben Sisario in The New York Daily
News. This is a record no lover of great American music should miss
Trailer II is far more than just a sequel to The Trailer Tapes. Where the
majority of the first album were songs that had never appeared on any subsequent
Knight disc, Trailer II features original versions of what would become many of
Chris most popular tracks. Songs like It Ain t Easy Being Me , Love And A
45?, Send A Boat and The River s Own crackle with the unprocessed honesty
of a young singer/songwriter finding and delivering his own startling voice
In a sense, this record is the second part of a classic field recording, says
producer Frank Liddell. It s the rest of the story of a place in time where you
first hear one of the most truthful artists in music today
I think I was hard on myself when it came to putting together Trailer II
Chris admits. I ve been playing most of these songs every night on the road for
the past 12 years. I know I sing them way different now than when I did then
What you re hearing is a guy who had written those songs at his kitchen table
and barely knew how to sing them into a microphone. Still, he says, there are
moments where I can hear the beginning of what I do now.
