Description

When Kaki King went into the studio in upstate New York to record the tracks for her fourth album, Dreaming Of Revenge, her producer, Malcolm Burn, had one condition: “He said, ‘If someone can't be sawing a log in half and whistling along to the song, I don't want it on the record,'” King recalls with a laugh.

And so the bar was set. Burn's mandate was just the push King needed to make her most accessible CD yet.

For now, King is excited about the March 2008 release of Dreaming Of Revenge. “I want people to listen to it and think, ‘This sounds like something completely new, but it also sounds like something Kaki King would do,'” she says. “I am finding my own voice within the world of instrumental music at large, as opposed to just instrumental guitar. So I'd love for people to hear it and think, ‘If I had to take a guess, I think Kaki King might have written this song. That would be a dream.”
