“Enough rope” is another classic from Knight. Thanks for reacting to this. Chris is from Kentucky, but is a living legend in Tx. He’s known as your favorite songwriters’ favorite songwriter down here.
Thank you so much for reacting to this. Atmospheric is a way to describe this song. I can just see a spring fed river with tall bluffs, evening fog laying on the water, two brothers in a johnboat. The unresolved grief and need for justice (In his mind. I know it is revenge) really paints a picture for me.
Gotta do Framed or It Ain’t Easy Being Me. He lives about 15 minutes from me in western Kentucky. Been a fan my whole life. So damn cool to see someone reacting to him!! Thank you sir!
This is why I subscribed. I doubt that there are many other YT reaction channels out there who would have so perfectly nailed the whiskey in hand, low light vibe so early on. I watched this reaction with Gentleman Jack, so I completely agree.
I never heard this artist before. It's definitely a country feel but his voice and the song reminds me a little bit of Bruce Springsteen's voice and a song he would do as well. Very much outlaw country, in certain parts of the south(and to fair other remote small town areas)it's still an eye for an eye mentality. So this story would not be impossible to have occurred st some point. Very gritty voice, that wouldn't require more than acoustic sound.
I just discovered this song a week ago, and I've studied it dozens of times already. There are multiple versions of it. The DualTone version seems to be the one with the killer slide guitar. Trying to find out more about that. I lost my younger brother almost 2 years ago and that is definitely "still heavy on my mind". If I could sneak up on cancer, and put a bullet in it I would indeed. My new favorite song,. Thanks for calling attention to it and this fantastic artist! Best of luck to you!
This reminds me of a fairly new one by Chris Janson with Eric Church, written by Church - You, Me , and the River. Here’s the link: ua-cam.com/video/EQ7ShhkEdMs/v-deo.html I also suggested another by Chris Janson a few days ago - Drunk Girl. Great review Craig! ♥️♥️
I like watching your reactions and i dont watch many others , you should do reaction on while west outlaws Billy the Kid. There are some songs I can turn on do but there’s some short stories as well.
Please react to "tell me I was dreaming" by travis tritt from Live and kickin' my brother buried his daughter and son in 2007 and 2009, would mean the world to me!
Sorry don't like this one much at all kinda makes it sound like killing is normal. Guess some do but not my cup of tea. Here is one you might like, Collin Raye , Love Me. Get a tissue.

"The Hammer Going Down" by Chris Knight. Great early song of his!

I love playing this song after a long day out fishing right as the sun starts to set and the banks get dark. You described it perfectly.
Gotta do Framed or It Ain’t Easy Being Me. He lives about 15 minutes from me in western Kentucky. Been a fan my whole life. So damn cool to see someone reacting to him!! Thank you sir!
Literally first time I have ever seen anyone react to Chris Knight. Amazing song writing.

Love Chris Knight! Great musician. Framed, Jealous Kind, Love and a 45 and It Ain't Easy Being Me are good ones.
All my favourites! you have good taste :)
Never heard of him but I loved this song, thanks!
GREAT reaction, Enough Rope and Undone are some other Chris Knight songs I would love for you to react to.
The White Buffalo - ''Wish It Was True'' This song will give you chills

I really love his voice and this song!!
I never heard of him or this song before but it’s good thanks for sharing
I have found so many great artists through your channel, thank you! 😊
Great song writer!
Thanks for reacting to him!
this and it ain't easy being me are my favs, enough rope is amazing as well
Chris the best in real country not mainstream and never sold out and probably to much of a badass for the new pop country culture
By far the best reactor on you tube my good man 😎
“Enough rope” is awesome
Very good. Never heard of him either.
Great reaction, loved your expression when the revenge got real! Thank you for sharing you thoughts. 😆
Never heard of Chris. Not a bad song, a little different. Good reaction Craig. Cheers from Canada.🇨🇦
He’s written songs with and for Canadas finest, Fred Eagle Smith.
The song is about revenge against the men who murdered his brother
Check out Whiskey Myers- Stone acoustic
If you've ever lived on the river in Louisiana, then song makes perfect sense
If you liked Chris Knight you need to check out Uncle Lucius, Keep the Wolves Away
…been thinking Wilson’s cousin better find a place to hide.
Damn I want to be an accessory
Thus song's about a good Ole American feud. Ever heard of the Hatfields and McCoys?

Drunk girl is excellent.
Please listen to “Enough Rope” by Knight. All his songs are great but that one is my favorite by far. Thanks!

You should check out tonight I'm playing possum by Joe Nichols and Randy Travis
This is not a popular song; I’ve never heard it on the radio. I’m glad someone got this one to you
North Dakota is similar but very different

Good reaction man! Love your stuff.
Hope you can get to amarillo sky by Jason aldean soon.
Love Amarillo Sky. One of my favs by Aldean. ♥️
Listen to 16 Tons by Geoff Casteluci
He writes hard songs, real but hard. Like life. Try North Dakota and Hard Edges, make this one seem mild.
Check out Righteus Brothers
I aint told a soul
Impending doom
Good but never heard of him
Never heard of this guy. The song is bit dark for me
