Product 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. "Even though half the tracks are instrumentals, I feel like I'm writing Pop songs," she says. "We really concentrated on the melodies. Everything I write tends to be dense and chordal, but this time the idea was to layer the challenging guitar work under very simple, beautiful melodies. I really wanted them to be memorable." Amazon.com The diminutive guitarist Kaki King acts her three roles--player, composer, and singer-songwriter--to the hilt on her fourth album. Dreaming of Revenge ricochets between instrumentals and hushed vocal numbers united by Kings unerring sense of melodicism and her prodigious, two-handed tapping guitar technique augmented by electronic delays, loops, and other effects. "Pull Me Out Alive" sounds like a pop hit from an alternate universe, with Kings softly purring voice flitting between chanted verse and a siren-call chorus. Several numbers evoke gothic forest or moonlit city dreamscapes. In particular, "Montreal," a guitar duet with producer Malcolm Burn featuring ornate layers of acoustic, electric, and steel guitars. Kings most affecting recordings are the stark ones like "Life Being What It Is," a ballad about heartbreak and sugarcoated anger featuring Kings fragile vocalizing backed only by acoustic six-string guitar. Diverse and exceptional, this disc will win acceptance beyond her core audience of guitar fans. --Ted Drozdowski
