"I like sad songs," says Knox, whose second studio album — the tellingly titled 'Far From Folk' — blends cosmic Americana, left-field honky tonk, rugged country-rock, and woozy roots music into its own melancholic mix. Written during the pandemic, 'Far From Folk' roots itself in the modern struggles we all face, filled with vignettes about romance, estrangement, and the long journey toward hope. There are sad songs here, to be sure, but there's also an overarching sense of optimism, with B. Knox moving past the breakup songs that filled his debut — the acclaimed 'Heartbreak & Landscape' — and focusing on something brighter.  'Far From Folk' serves as both a nod to B. Knox's past and a reminder of just how far he's grown beyond his folk roots, highlighting an artist in eclectic evolution.
