But it’s also a nimble-fingered and impassioned lady guitarist, who was also her virtuoso self two years ago in a sold-out club.

In the meantime there’s also a fifth CD: ‘Junior’, out here via V2 and again produced by Malcolm Burn (see too: Daniel Lanois, Patti Smith, Emmylou Harris…). This time Kaki King really will come to shine solo, on (fabulous) vocals and guitar. Though the latter could be either a ‘harp guitar’ or a ’7 string fanned fret nylon’ or a ‘hi-tuned 12 string’ or her favourite ‘Ovation’.

INTERVIEW The Secret Life of Kaki King

IMN

November 16th, 2010

Kaki King, known for her eclectic array of musical techniques and percussive melodies, has strayed somewhat from the path on her latest effort, Junior. It’s an album laden with radio-friendly pop songs that still manages to stay true to her roots, throwing in the odd jazzier, instrumental tune.

Recorded in Kingston, New York, King once again sought out producer Malcolm Burn (Patti Smith, Emmylou Harris), who worked with her on 2008’s Dreaming of Revenge. In contrast to her album’s predecessors where King would write and play the instruments herself, her latest oeuvre Junior relies more heavily on the collaboration and musicianship of multi-instrumentalist Dan Brantigan and drummer Jordan Perlson.

New York guitarist extra-ordinaire Katherine King, aka Kaki King, is back in town next month, playing at Fly By Night in Fremantle on Sunday, November 21. She speaks with JOSHUA HAYES.

The diminutive guitarist has a big reputation, having been named one of the New Guitar Gods by Rolling Stone magazine, working with artists as diverse as indie rock darlings The Mountain Goats, super producer Timbaland and playing on the Twilight soundtrack.
She has also shown an affinity for Australia, visiting our shores regularly (most recently in December 2009), starting a side project, Daysleeper, in Sydney and guesting on the Foo Fighter’s Ballad Of The Beaconsfield Miners in 2006. Her upcoming tour is to promote her latest album Junior, released earlier this year.

The album was a step in a new direction for King, working with a live band in the studio for the first time. The band, made up of King, drummer Jordan Perlman and multi instrumentalist Dan Brantigan, recorded Junior in a matter of days in November last year.
