You know, the assumption that the label always dictates what the record
should sound like and the inference that this is done against the artists'
wishes in all cases is kind of annoying. I'm no label apologist (at least
not anymore!) but my hunch is that Chris Knight made the record he wanted
to make, not necessarily the record that Decca wanted him to make. (I have
to give credit to Decca for working his record as though they actually
wanted to develop his career though.)
I hope Dolly, Chris and a few others get nominated for those TNN awards.
It'd be funny if half the nominees were without record deals. (This
includes Mike of course).
