Kaki King is a feisty, five-foot, funny, outspoken Atlanta transplant
who now lives in New York, a city whose energy is almost equal
to her own. She also happens to be the most exciting solo guitarist/composer
to have come along in decades. On her upcoming album, Legs to Make
Us Longer (Epic), she blazes through a set of original works with
an intensity that reflects her world -- the subway platform gigs,
the late shifts at the Mercury Lounge, the surreptitious intermission
entrances into Lincoln Center to catch some Stravinsky -- more
than the new age stupor that most solo guitar music seems to induce.
