More Info:
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 it's 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.
