Location: Fort Worth, Texas | I talked to my neighbor across the street this evening, around 11:30 after I was coming home from band rehearsal, several of her friends were loading up an SUV and a car. THEY ARE OFF TO BONNARO. We live in a neighborhood around Texas Christian University (TCU). The neighbors leaving for Tennessee are all college kids. I told them to be carefull and came in to peruse the Bonnaro web site.
Kaki King is scheduled for 12:30-1:30 Saturday afternoon at "That Tent". Kaki, do well. Pop Critic, give us an update... |

5 stars
It's really simple. As an accomplished acoustic guitar player myself, I can speak from relative experience that this album is nothing short of the most astonishing SOLO INSTRUMENTAL ACOUSTIC GUITAR recordings of the last 20 years. Kaki's techniques, although not necessarily groundbreaking, are very virtuosic and disciplined, to say the least. Give her a break...she's 23, and she self-produced her first album. I give her props on that basis alone.
To the point: if you enjoy Michael Hedges, Alex DeGrassi, Preston Reed, Billy McLaughlin, Pierre Bensusan, and any other acoustic guitar virtuoso that fits this bill, BUY THIS ALBUM. I own more guitar-based albums than any other type in my 1000+ album music collection, and very few of these guitar albums BLEW ME AWAY within the first 20 seconds of listening (Michael Hedges did that to me). I knew instantly that this was a genius artist, and was so thrilled that finally a woman (a very young woman) has entered this male-dominated genre with such presence, confidence and grace.
Kudos to Kaki!
Now buy this album.
