Christmas at the Country Music Hall of Fame
It was a holly jolly old time this past Saturday, when Lloyd sang his holiday classic “Winter Wonderland” at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Joining Lloyd for the performance and festivities include Grand Old Opry legends Porter Wagoner (pictured) and Bill Anderson along with other artists from the album “Still Believing in Christmas.” Thanks to all who came out to support Lloyd.

   
12.15.06 The reviews are in! (Well, one is anyway…)
From December's issue of Nashville Music Guide:
"Southern boys seem to have a knack for singing country soul. This debut album from Knight proves he is no exception. Produced by Brien Fisher for the independent Rustic Records label, the group dug deep to come up with songs from some of Music City's premium musical scribes, not to mention the caliber of the pickers on the album. Of the ten cuts on the CD, "That's What a Redneck Is," penned by Hayward Franks, has "hit" written all over it as far as I'm concerned. So listen up radio! Find your copy at www.rusticrecordsinc.com." Pretty sweet, huh?
   
12.5.06 Someone has Big Buck Fever
Lloyd's second favorite thing to do in the world, after singing and performing of course, is hunting and being outdoors. Over Thanksgiving, Lloyd and his friends had a chance to go hunting while he was home in Georgia. Check out this picture of the deer Lloyd shot. There is also a strong possibility that Lloyd will be appearing on an outdoor sporting program in the coming months. Stay tuned for more information.
