His first album of new material in 4 years, "Little Victories" is a record of blunt honesty, elegiac truths and raw rural poetry of an artist who's come into his own and intends to stay. And for a performer who'd been compared over the years to Cash, Prine, Earle and Nebraska-era Springsteen, Knight now stands alone as a singer-songwriter that has carved his own idiosyncratic sound and sensibility out of the dirt road American dream. "Little Victories not only sounds like a Chris Knight album, but the best Chris Knight album yet.

"Little Victories" also marks a reunion wtih producer Ray Kennedy, who'd engineered and mastered Knight's seminal "Enough Rope" and two 'Trailer Tapes' albums and is well known for his work with Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Lucinda Williams. "The sound of any record is about attitude and how it goes down, and much of this record went down like a rock record. Other than a few overdubs, it's pretty much recorded 100% live", says Kennedy. This organic approach give the album an acoustic/electric texture that is both urgently gritty and fiercely expressive. "Chris digs deepest of all on this record," Kennedy says. "It's the content of his voice as well as the character of the songs. And when you listen to this record a few times, you realize there's a really unique social commentary woven in. I think he's one of our greatest songwriters, period."

"LIttle Victories" was recorded with his road band with guest artists John Prine, Buddy Miller, Dan Baird and Tammy Rogers of the Steeldrivers.
