Friday Night (Morning?) Jukebox: Chris Knight & Others

As country music has been discussed here recently, I thought I would share a few videos. For what it’s worth, I purposefully avoided “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy” types of songs.

Kentuckian Chris Knight got some airplay early in his career, but has been doing his own thing since. The first entry is, in my view, everything a music video should be. It’s not straight narrative, but rather engaging video that is no unrelated to the theme of the music:

An older Chris Knight sings haunting tune about a man whose wife went out during a blizzard and hasn’t come home. He’s not sure if she’s left or if something happened to her:

This one does not come with a video (alas), but it’s a great Gary Allan song, written after the suicide of his wife:

The last is from Texan Phil Pritchett. A song about not ready for something to yet be over:
