Ben Knight was born in ky. He’s lived here all his life. But I have a pretty good feeling his gift for song writing is gonna take him quite a few places. If we listen closely he might take us with him, whether it’s down a dirt road with a few beers and a love song on the radio or to Louisiana where a hitman ponders what he’ll leave his son when he joins those unlucky gamblers in the grave.
Ben Knight is making a reputation for himself among music listeners as a damn good songwriter and a great performer. He’s making a name for himself with other musicians as “that kid who writes better country songs than people who’ve been doing it for as many years as he’s been alive” And it annoys some of us. Cause every time you talk to him he’s got something new and the last couple might not have made it onto a record. Careers could be hiding in his trash can.
After a few ambitious solo records and a failed band or two Ben Knight has finally got his shit together. His band Ben Knight and the Well Diggers, bring him a full, instantly professional sound. These are the kind of guys who could take a dingy dive bar gig or a packed stadium with the same attitude. They love what they do.
