Topic: Michael Knott


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Kentucky Folkweb Articles: KYFolklife_Knott.html
Knott's festival was seldom a financial success, though support was found from state governments (for the Texas Centennial and the Oklahoma Semi-Centennial festivals) and from newspapers (the Washington Post and the St. Louis Globe-Democrat both sponsored the festival at two periods in its history).
By the 1960s, Knott, then in her seventies, found herself increasingly out of touch with the new generation of academic folklorists and folk revivalists, many of whom found the National to be stagnant and old fashioned.
Knott officially retired in 1971, although she was reluctant to give up the reins of the festival she had devoted her life to running.

Knott - They would sign me and then I would work something out with the guys depending on who can tour and who can not, who wants to be on the record and who does not.
Knott - I did that record for Platinum Entertainment and then they fired everybody and now they have called me and said they have lost the artwork but they will put it out as soon as they can find it.
Knott - I think that people like trends, but they are eventually going to get into songs and singers that touch them and move them spiritually rather than just something that "rocks.” I hope that the 80's metal bands never come back, ever.

 Michael Knott : Rocket and a Bomb - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
In a move that would shape the rest of his career, Knott turned down his amplifier, tuned out his demons, and crafted a record of stories that was both quietly and deeply affecting.
Built mostly around Knott's clean electric guitar and the twinkling organ of Adam Again's Gene Eugene, Rocket and a Bomb is collection of 11 tales about the eccentric individuals with whom Knott shared an apartment complex in California.
It is a testament to the record's power that Knott would revisit it several times over the course of his career, lifting two songs ("Kitty" and the title track) for his wrongheaded record with the Aunt Bettys.

 Michael Knott : Things I've Done, Things To Come CD
With a few projects recently released and several more in various stages of development, fans of Michael Knott — one of the most influential alternative faith-based artists of the last two decades — were clamoring for a taste of what is and what will be.
That trend is interrupted by two songs from Bomb Bay Babies, Knott’s late ’80s post-punk, pre-grunge band that played in clubs while his self-proclaimed ministry band, LSU, rocked in churches.
Knott has always had one foot in the Christian market and the other in the general market, which has probably kept him from gaining a solid foothold in either one.

One is the hopelessly illegible way he's scrawled the lyrics to these 13 songs on the inside of the cover.
Now, you could take this as his tribute to avant-garde (de)composer John Cage, who's built his reputation on stuff like this, but more likely this is Knott's way of being nice to us, of thanking us for putting up with the musical and verbal brutality that went before.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Michael Knott, "Life of David" Review
He was the lead of the critically acclaimed Aunt Betty’s and Lifesavers Underground, the heart of Cush, and not to mention a heralded solo act; but let’s mention that for a minute.
Life Of David, Knott's first solo record in years, is inspired by the Biblical King but seems to oddly turn more towards the life of himself than King David.
Fans of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Neil Young and more will be horribly disappointed when they here this album, because they will come to grips with, as many people have, why he has not gained the earned respect he truly deserves with the likes of these gents.

Mike Knott's latest solo release, Life of David (Metro 1 Music), is a powerful piece inspired by both the legendary Biblical King and Knott's own life experiences.
From the quiet acoustic opening track, "Cast Me Away" to the pulsing rock sounds of "Shoe Gazer", to the insightful "Hospital," Knott has crafted an album that both lyrically intrigues and melodically lifts the listener.
The records were propelled by his strong religious faith and his love of rock and pop.

Given his stunning ability to consistently align himself with doomed record labels, it eventually became more expeditious for Michael Knott to start recording and releasing records on his own, distributing them through his website.

And a couple weeks later, in comes this cd with a crazy Knott painting on the cover, a bit over an hour of the man and his acoustic guitar with Skinny Hindalong on all sorts of percussion.
Sometimes Mike goes off on tangents --- both musically and verbally --- and once in a while the songs blend in a little bit due to the acoustic nature of the set.
But those flaws, both conceptual and artistic, add to the pained honesty that characterizes Knott as a songwriter and vocalist.

On a lesser scale than Johnny Cash (both age wise and stature) there is Michael Knott.
The addition of the harmonica makes track two sound kind of Dylan-ish, music wise, however Knott's vocals are very distinctive and unlike Dylan (not to mention the fact that Knott gets into the music and it becomes like an emotion running through him, where Dylan has almost a cold indifference).
Knott is the kind of man, like Cash, who will make records until he's physically unable.
