Random news: Ransom Pride Trailer, Todd Snider Book, Chris Knight Pre-Order, etc...

Just some random tidbits here:

  • Last Rites of Ransom Pride (outdated and non-representative of the real movie) trailer is now online and viewable, this is the movie that stars Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam, and script by Ray Wylie Hubbard (more info on the site) EDIT: According to Judy Hubbard this is not the trailer for the movie, rather a scene that was shot last year to drum up support for the movie. The real movie is set to debut at this year's Toronto Film Festival in September. More info here. Here's to hoping an official trailer comes out soon.

  • Todd Snider divulged in a recent interview with Paste that he is working on a book based on his infamous stories. Said he gave the writer Dennis Cook a copy of the Moondawg's Tavern boot, a few phone numbers, and told him to find the "real story". Book is going to be called "Almost Everything I Say Is True"

  • Chris Knight announced The Trailer Tapes II will be released this September, but....BUT!...you can pre-order now and get an immediate download & get the physical CD in the mail (some have already gotten their's, and early reviews are that this thing is as good as the first Trailer Tapes)

  • Good news for you Backsliders fans out there. Chip Robinson (lead singer of The Backsliders) has a new one coming out in November on Red River Records called Mylow, which can also be pre-ordered and they will feature custom packaging, signature, and early shipment

  • Speaking of, Red River Records is run by Kasey Anderson, who has announced an EP of four additional songs taken from the session for his Way Out West album released earlier this year. EP will be available on August 25th, and pre-orders get access to an exclusive bonus track

Chris Knight - Lexington KY 12-30-06


Now this is a killer bootleg. An almost New Years Eve show from 2006 with his band and damn are they in high gear. The sound on this one is excellent, and the performance is damned good too. This one is a must for all Chris Knight fans.

And yes, I totaly aped CCR for the album cover :P

Chris Knight & Maureen McCormick - Chris Knight & Maureen McCormick (Rare Out of Print 1973 album)

Here's that ultra rare early Chris Knight album I promised ya. All the way back to 1973, Chris was barely 13 and just honing his songwriting skills. Sadly for this album Maureen McCormick hogs all the spotlight, but you can definitely see the promise of things to come. Nice to see he still wears the same shirt and hairstyle too.

Chris Knight - Video & Interview (in Ottersum Netherlands)

WOW! You gotta love the internet. Here is some video of the same show, and an interview before the show....FANTASTIC! Enjoy.

Show (Becky's Bible, Rural Route, Enough Rope)


Interview (wow, the audio sync gets really bad on this the more it plays)

Chris Knight - Live in Ottersum, Netherlands Feb. 04, 2007


Here is a nice little acoustic Chris Knight show from last month in the Netherlands. The info I have says it is in Ottersum, CC Roepaen The Netherlands and that Ty Tyler is with him. I don't know where that is or who Ty Tyler is, but it's a good show none-the-less. The stark arrangements of these songs really bring the lyrics out and the stories they weave really jump out at you. There is some nice between song chatter too where he talks about his inspirations. Only dissapointment is the fact that "If I Were You" is not played.

Chris Knight - The Trailer Tapes

Ok, another treat for you guys.....Chris Knight - The Trailer Tapes

Due to be released in April this is a collection of songs Chris recorded in 1996 before he ever released an official album. These tracks are bare.....just him and a guitar. If you've never heard of Chris Knight he is an excellent singer-songwriter in the vein of Steve Earle. Standout tracks on this album include a killer version of "House and 40 Acres", "Spike Driving Blues" and an early version of his classic "If I Were You"
