Lonnie Knight
Quotes/Reviews

"Lonnie is a song guitarist of the first order. He never seems to be playing just to play, or to dazzle. Even his solos are smartly conceived comments on the lyrical intent of his songs. They are never "breaks" from the song, but musical statements that move the song forward as surely as the lyrics do. I would unhesitatingly rank Lonnie's guitar work alongside the best song guitarists in the modern folk world, including Richard Thompson, Patty Larkin, Richard Shindell, and Brooks Williams... I know if you hear Lonnie's music, you'll be awed by his guitar playing; but I think you'll also be drawn to his closely observed, real-life poetry. And I'll bet you end up feeling something else, too; something that cuts to the heart of why folk music continues to thrive in these fast, noisy, and often careless times. You'll feel like you got to know someone worth knowing, someone who means the things he sings; and that in the kind, uncompromising vision of his music, you've heard a friend."

"You know what they say about blues men with big shoes, don't you? They have talented hands and a ton of soul, in order to play the guitar with intense passion. ...(Knight) was pure mind, body, and soul on stage, and his song, " Just Ride The Train," is one of my favorites. Its lyrics depict the insane nature of a woman, and has a provocative melody which creeps inside, making me crave to hear the song again."
