Hey all,
Any of you heard of Kaki King? She's just this solo 6-string guitar act (no vocals), but she absolutely rocks! Very intelligent music without being pretentious while also displaying a lot of feeling without getting sappy. I just bought her CD over the weekend and haven't been able to put it down and just wanted to spread the word. This girl needs to be heard! And of course, since it's all acoustic guitar, it sounds incredible on Axioms. Let me know if you've heard her music and what you think.

As an old accoustic guitar player, I'm interested. To which of her 4 CDs are you referring?

I only know of two--"Everybody Loves You" and "Legs to Make Us Longer." I bought Legs and after listening to it had to turn right around and buy the other one as well. They're both pretty darn frickin' sweet. If she's got two others I don't know about, I'm all over 'em. -JT

I lied!  Amazon has 4 CDs listed by her. I didn't bother to read the titles, and 2 of them are the ones you mentioned, while the other two are import versions of the same two. So, technically she DOES have 4 CDs, but we don't care about 2 of them. 
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check her out. Well............her music, I mean.

I've never heard of her, but I just had to go check her out on the net right away. Wow! Her guitar playing sounds like Michael Hedges.

Yeah, I've heard that she's been influenced a lot by Michael Hedges. I hadn't heard of him either, but if she sounds like him, I'm sure I'd like his stuff too. Any recommendations of albums to check out?

Ajax, ever given Tommy Emmanuel a spin? If you like acoustic guitar you owe it to yourself to have a listen. There are more then a few that consider this guy to be one of the true great ones out there!
