About Chris Knight - Trailer II
Trailer II is far more than just a sequel to The Trailer Tapes. Where the majority of the first album were songs that had never appeared on any subsequent Knight disc, Trailer II features original versions of what would become many of Chris' most popular tracks. Like its predecessor, the 12 songs on Trailer II were recorded in the summer of 1996 inside Knight's sweltering singlewide in a field just outside of Slaughters, Kentucky (population 238, including Chris). Knight, then an unknown singer-songwriter still months away from recording his major label debut album, had begrudgingly agreed to record a batch of solo acoustic tracks on his own terms. For one week, Knight, Liddell and engineer Joe Hayden crowded around two vocal and guitar microphones to capture twenty-five of Knight's original songs on ADAT tape. Over the next 10 years, the stark and stunning recordings via a combination of bootlegs, leaks and legend, would become one of the most talked-about sessions of the decade.
Chris Knight - Trailer II Reviews
Average Rating: 4.5
Rating: 4
Chris Knight is amazing. He writes most of his own songs and this album along with the first trailer tapes album lets you have a peek into that songwriter world. It's rough, gritty, and unrefined by someone in a studio. It's pretty much just a man and his guitar telling a story the way it was meant to be told.

I didn't expect much more from the Trailer Tapes part 2, but after listening it is clearly just as good as Trailer Tapes part 1........ Every acoustic sound places you right there. Between Heart of Stone, Trailer Tapes 1+2 you have the bulk of acoustic excellence from this great artist... Most of his cd's are out of print anyway and these last three albums represent just how talented Chris Knight is... His music makes me feel like he's a close friend of mine and we all belong together partying making music. REAL friends are very few and far between and even those aren't guaranteed.... Chris Knight and his music are guaranteed to lift you up...
Very Rare artist in top form - even for these (demo) sessions inside the long trailer
I have had the boot-ed songs for years and the Trailer Tapes 2 make them sound better...
Not to mention there are more songs that weren't available on those illegal bootlegs...
New songs that make this part 2 even more worth the purchase..
I am glad I bought it right away - since rare artists like this usually only put out minimal copies..
You need to grab this one today.

It would be very nice for Chris Knight to reissue some of the out of print albums..
I personally had a struggle gathering them all... but it was worth the search..
There isn't a bad Chris Knight album - Every one of them is GREAT!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!
"My husband John and I saw Stevie at Jones Beach last summer and she was amazing! The tickets weren't great... not the cheapest but not the best either... John bought them and doesn't understand the importance of being up close and personal at concerts LOL..."
