I am outstandingly embarrassed to announce that I am for the first time experiencing Kaki King. Of course, we all have our first times for everything. I think I am more upset by any of my friends that have known about her and not forced me to listen to her yet...
The album I am currently listening to is titled, "Legs To Make Us Longer". It is absolutely majestic in virtuosity and makes me want more than ever to become a better guitarist. She has what I like to refer to as "it". "It" consists of the following: everything and nothing in particular.

She has a solid style and is an amazing player. Her style is very percussive and reflects classical and jazz influence. But the beautifully dark and addictive melodies she incorporates make her music extremely accessible I think. On rare but extremely pleasant occasion, she will grace you with her silky smooth voice (which I find to be the epitome of heart-melters). I do not have the words, nor the credibility, to elaborate further on this artist. She is an absolutely astounding white female version of wes montgomery playing a much bluesier, country-esque style.
Alright, I think I am getting carried away with this now. Just know, she is fantastic and everyone should listen. Particularly fans of post-rock, classical guitar, jazz guitar, and just damn good guitar playing. I will possess her entire catalog in the near future.
