I Know This All Too Well is the debut solo album from Kingston, Ontario folk singer Chris Morris. Produced by Kingston country-blues troubadour Tom Savage, the songs on this record truly capture the essence of traditional folk, blues, and bluegrass. The 11 original songs, plus a cover of the traditional murder ballad Little Sadie, can be playful, heavy, funny, poetic, or intense, all the while conveying a universal truth, or some deep-rooted feeling that could be as relevant 100 years ago as it is today.

Produced by Tom Savage.
Engineered by Dylan Lodge.
Mixed and mastered by Geoff Chown.
Recorded at Kevin Bowers’ studio and NOP.
Front and back cover photos by Patrick Hulley.
