Location: atlanta | Kaki's new record comes out tomorrow. For those of you who haven't heard her, I invite you to visit her record label's website and see the page they made for her. Five songs from the record can be selected and played. At Velour's splash page, click the "artist" link, and click her name.

There's a nice onstage photo of her playing her new Adamas II 1581-7.
Whaddaya think?
Finest regards to all---

I'll be stopping on my way home tomorrow to pick up the new CD release! I'm so psyched to hear it!
Wishin' Kaki tremendous success, and can't wait til she's in the Jersey/NYC area again.
It's SO inspiring to know that there is still label interest in original style, quality musicianship and outstanding talent.
ALL the best!

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I haven't been able to get it yet...went to 2 different cd places this week, and they didn't have it. I'll have to check Borders. Thanks for the tip.
Surprisingly, I saw it on ebay, with a lot of bids, but I'm a firm believer in supporting "local" musicians with legit cd sales. God knows we need all the help we can get!

Customer Reviews
5 stars. Well done, great performance, April 22, 2003
Reviewer: Macneil Shonle from Woburn, MA United States
Listening to the tracks of Everybody Loves You, it's hard to believe the sounds King can get out of a single guitar. Virtually all of the tracks are instrumental (with the exception of a bonus track of King playing around). The melody and bass lines are well woven with the percussion King provides and gives you something that will stick in your head for a long time. If a great storyteller could only communicate by playing and smacking a guitar, this is what it would sound like.
If half stars were possible I'd give this album a 4.5 stars rating because it runs on the short side and some of the tracks could have been longer. King's performance really must be seen to be believed, and, fortunately, the CD contains a quicktime movie that you can play on your computer to get an idea of her unique picking style (and her somewhat odd sense of humor). If you like acoustic guitar you cannot go wrong by adding this unique album to your collection. I haven't heard anything so well balanced between folk and rock since Steve Howe's solo album Natural Timbre."

I couldn't find it in Nashville TN. Borders could order it... I'm name droping, big time.

Location: Western PA | I picked up the new Kaki King CD last week (the one and only copy at the local Borders) and it has been living in various CD players since then. Tonight as I was removing it from a CD player I recalled that the CD has video (RealPlayer) tracks..
So I loaded in my computer and was amazed. If you haven't seen Kaki play you gotta see this, two handed tapping over top of the fretboard making wonderful sounds. I read this in reviews but it is something I needed to see/hear to understand. Three extra tracks are on the RealPlayer section. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! |
