The tunes exude additional gravitas from the producer’s backing accompanimentâ€"billed as “teenager sounding guitar solosâ€â€"which feels almost garage-like in its rawness. Knight’s voice is a craggy combination of John Fogerty and Steve Earle as he sings songs that use “My Old Cars†and the “Crooked Road†to express the trials of the bluest of blue-collar working-class heroes.
The stories are simple yet potent: the ex-con coming home to make things right for “Maria,†the woman leaving an abusive relationship in “Danville,†and the yearning for money that won’t likely appear as “Another Dollar†seems further away.
It’s Knight’s connection to, and compassion for, these protagonists that make his characters spring to life with such vivid clarity. That honesty is seldom expressed in contemporary Americana with such conviction, which makes “Heart of Stone†beat with such sincere passion and intensity.
