It's a real disappointment that someone with such great singing/songwriting abilities can go so unnoticed. I hope this guy sticks around for a long time, I know he'll get a break eventually.
A buddy of mine called me up one night and asked if I had ever listened to Chris Knight. I hadn't, but since then I do just about every day. Had the opportunity to see him play in Omaha Nebraska. Wasn't a big crowd but it was a great show. I had the privilege to meet him and talk with him..... My 6 year old knows a couple of his songs as well.....
Thanks for watching. We are an all volunteer public access television production crew. None of us have ever had any formal video training of any sort. Your compliment is much appreciated. If you want to see Chris play near you let your local club owners and promoters know. Maybe somebody could book him for Sturgis Bike Week. It seems like a natural to me.
I've seen Chris 10 times or more. I've never seen thousands at any of his shows. More like an average crowd of 200 max. I seen Logan Halstead (A Man's Gotta Eat) a few days ago. 50 people were there. Jake Kohn (Frostbite) played a house concert in nearby Covington a couple weeks ago for 15 people. There's a lot of great music out there going virtually unnoticed. I wish more people found the value of supporting live music and the venues that make it possible.
Fricken love this song. everyone has someone in their life who does this to them. Whether it be a lover, family member or friend. Thank you for singing for us all how it feels to be used like that!
Thanks for watching. I'd sure like to video some more of his shows. In Cincinnati, we just showed up with a couple cameras and some mics and cords. I asked if we could tape and he graciously approved. This was my 6th taping of Chris, but first with something other than a cheap consumer camcorder. Now that I know how, I really want to shoot him with a tricaster, 4 cameras and a photographer. With about 2-3 days of b roll shooting, I know I could come up with something really cool.
I seen him 3 weeks ago. Justin Wells opened and owned the crowd. When Chris came out his band sucked. His bass player looked like a statue. The new guitar player looked afraid to play. It was a mess! His voice seemed spent. Half the crowd of 300 was gone halfway through his set. This was the first time I felt sorry for the guy. It was also the first time I seen him when he didn't do an encore. I've been a fan for a long time. I think I have 7 CK shows posted here on RUclips going back almost 15 years. It was prolly my last time to see him. I wish him well.
Mike McAdam is a great guitar stylist. I've seen him play with Chris several times, and he never disappoints. He makes it look effortless. Gonna see Chris in October at Dosey Doe. Hope Mike shows up! Hammer's Goin' Down.!
I agree with you on Michael. However, the only current band member left from this group is Chris Clark. Mike has been working part time in construction for the last couple years. He's also trying to finish a new album, "Tremolo".
Chris Knight is a great singer/ songwriter. However, locally he gets very little airplay and even less support. It's no wonder no one was there. I was lucky to find out about the show myself. There were a few people who found out about the show from a post I added to his webpage, some who came with me or at my urging and a contingent of the homeless. His new cd, "Little Victories", features a duet with John Prine. Maybe it will get him some new fans and excite his small but fervent fan base.
Thanks for watching. It was great to see Chris finally play Cincinnati. He opened for Jr. Brown at the Southgate House (R.I.P.) in Newport, Ky. in 1997 but I don't know of him ever playing the 'big city" previously. In February 2013, he played to a nice crowd at the Taft Theater Ballroom, so maybe, Cincinnati will be a part of his future tours. Were you in the video?
Thanks for watching. It is a great song. It's originally from Chris Knight's 2006 cd "Enough Rope". Gary Nicholson produced the cd and is credited on the liner notes with co-writing the song with Chris Knight. CCR released their "Mission California" cd, which included "Cry Lonely, in October 2007.
Just saw him in Amarillo two days ago, and he did this song. All musicians except the guitarist to his left in the black shirt were still with him. Says a lot about someone when people stick with you.
It was just about the end of the line for this incarnation of his "full band". The drummer was soon gone. Now, Michael McAdams and Drake Leonard are gone, too. I've been a long time fan. I have taped 7 of his shows and shared most of it here on RUclips. I believe his songwriting is still strong. LeeAnn Womack's version of his "Send It On Down" proves he's still got that covered. However, his recent live shows haven't been up to par and I don't believe a lot of live touring is in his future. Last time I seen him, half the crowd was gone 2/3 through the show. It was the first time I saw him when he didn't do an encore. It was sad. Chris Clark tries valiantly to pick up the slack, now, but between odd new band members and Chris's diminishing vocal abilities it makes for one sadly dull show. I never thought I'd say that. I agree he is a top 10 Americana songwriter. I'm just happy I traveled all over the state 10-15 years ago recording him when he was the shit! I wish I could have done a better job.
@@freetickeys i have a little garage band and we cover a few of his songs...Carla Came Home, Back Down The River, and Cry Lonely. He's one of our favorites and I always come back to this version when I'm online. This was perfect but sadly underappreciated. Thanks for posting though.
@@freetickeys also...props, the quality. These videos of live shows on RUclips are mostly shit. The audio and video editing are great...again, thanks for posting this.
@@tommyschlegel5653 A friend and I are in the process of starting a local public radio show on WAIF 88.3 FM in Cincinnati. Chris Knight will be one of the featured artists of our show. Thanks for watching and the kind words. After all, this is the internet and no one has to be nice.
@@freetickeys That's funny because I saw him a few weeks ago at sold out show and it was packed! I agree he's better solo acoustic. He sounds fine with slow songs but he just can't belt out.
I hope you enjoyed it anyway. I got lucky to find out the show was in town and I've seen him a passel of times and have recorded and posted quite a few of his shows. There ain't much telling what's going on in the minds of others and ain't nary a lick o sense worrying bout it. Take care. Be safe. Thanks for stopping by.
Chris Knight is so under appreciated. Love this song.
Thanks for watching. He has a new CD coming October 11th. His website, www.chrisknight.net , is accepting pre orders now.
I have listened to this song 1,000 times in a row the last 5 days or so. Unreal
......find a new one.

Keith Gamerl That is a testimonial.

I see the small crowd and I`m pissed off `cause i`d give my eye teeth to be sitting there.
Yeah I mean wtf?????
This guy is a legend.
How was there not thousands of people in the crowd man. Wtf. Chris is one of the best

Surfer cowboy, shoot out at dawn type music.
Man they kill it!

It's such a shame that the crowd wasn't there for you. In Texas you're a music legend.

The greatest song writers the is. And he's so under rated

Working construction.
Take good care of those magic fingers, Mike.😁
Thanks for watching. That guy is Mike McAdam. He was Steve Earle's lead guitarist when he first started touring.
What happend to him?

The nerve of some people... at a Chris Knight concert staring at their phones instead of at the band...
im lookin at the crowd watchin and i'm sad......this is american music........it should be a packed house.
It's like you went to the store and got lunch meat you open it up and it a porterhouse truly amazed keep up the good work
Thanks for the uplifting note. It's much appreciated.
Thanks for watching and supporting his music.
love this song ❤
Damn but I love Chris Knight.

in front of the TIffany's store..crazy
LOVE CK..because he is real
Thanks to you for watching and Pandora for turning you on to his music.
I was there. Great show.
Just saw him in Amarillo two days ago, and he did this song. All musicians except the guitarist to his left in the black shirt were still with him. Says a lot about someone when people stick with you.
One of these days!!
OK.
Nice tune. Music is nice and clear. Good job, nicely done.
WOW
Good Lord!
Top 10 Americana song writer. Sad to see no appreciation.

I prefer this version to the album version with that solo at the end.
Chris needs to come to NYC. My favorite song
Ann verderber I have seen New York on the tour schedule before. Hopefully he will make his way there again.
Thanks for watching.
I had always thought this was a cross canadian ragweed original. Great song either way.
I thought the same thing stray dogs 13
Love this one and the whole concert!!!! Needs to film more concerts!
We're starting to sound like Cubs fans in May. "There's always next year."
Thanks for watching.
A great cover of this song is done by a group called "Cross Canadian Ragweed". Another group that Country music crapped on.
Elsie Fox Chris has done quite a few shows with Cody Canada. Thanks for watching.
@timjonesx I'd like the opportunity to make a dvd for his new album, whenever it comes out. We all have to have a dream. Thanks for watching.
i will hope you come to Holland Europa
🎶👍
Guess who..............?
It is a travesty how sparse the audience is
What's wrong with those people in audience lol
I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
