Knight grew up in Slaughters, Kentucky. His extended family lives in the same area of Kentucky. Knight has three brothers and a sister. His father was a pipe liner.
When he was three years old, he asked for a plastic guitar for Christmas. At 15, he became serious and began teaching himself John Prine songs on his older brother's guitar.
Knight earned a degree in agriculture from Western Kentucky University. He worked for ten years as a mine reclamation inspector and as a miner's consultant for the Kentucky Department of Surface Mining.
Music career
Knight started composing when he was 26, but didn't start performing until he was 30. He got his first record deal when he was 37.
Chris Knight is the self-titled debut album from country music singer and songwriter Chris Knight. It was released on February 10, 1998 by Decca Nashville. Singles from it were "Framed" and "It Ain't Easy Being Me", although neither charted. "The Hammer Going Down" also appeared on the soundtrack of the 1998 film Black Dog, which was also released by Decca. The Road Hammers later covered the song on their 2005 self-titled debut album.

According to local lore, a hermit had been living undetected in the woods since the 1980s; every so often, he would break into seasonal cabins to steal food and other resources. But no one could prove the hermit’s existence—if he was out there, he had taken great pains to guarantee his isolation.
Then, on April 2013, a man was arrested in the deep woods of Maine. His name was Christopher Thomas Knight. According to societal records, he didn’t exist. For 27 years, he had camped out in the forest, surviving on meager supplies he’d burglarized from houses in the area. He endured winter temperatures of –20° F.
