Kaki King



I've been a fan of Kaki King for a few years now. The first album I ever bought of hers was called "Dreaming of Revenge", and to this day I listen to that album in it's entirety a few times a week. The Album is just a piece of art in the sense that you can to one song and capture one thing, listen to another and it gives you a totally different feeling/image. After I bought that back in 2008, I needed to hear more.

I've listened to everything by Kaki King. Everything from "Everybody Loves You" to her 2010 release "Junior" and I love it all. All of her pieces, whether it's from an album of hers or a soundtrack she's worked on (Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" for example) it's all beautiful.

Kaki is known for her percussive playing, jazzy melodies, intense live shows, interesting tunings on her guitars and lap steel, and her diverse range in different genres.

Kaki King is definitely an artist that must be listened to.
