When Kaki King went into the studioto record the tracks for her fourth
album, Dreaming Of Revenge, her producer, Malcolm Burn (Dylan, Chris
Whitley, Emmylou Harris), 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." That
strict attention to song craft is a logical step for King, whose
previous album, 2006's ...Until We Felt Red propelled this dazzling
young guitar player and composer, known to instrumental music fans for
her finger-picking, fret-slapping, and percussive thumping style, into
previously uncharted indie-rock territory. Red found King branching out
with songs that featured electric and pedal-steel guitar, horns, and,
for the first time, vocals. Dreaming Of Revenge picks up that thread,
continuing her evolution from acoustic instrumentalist to full-fledged,
multi-faceted songwriter. Previously, her whispery, ethereal voice was
used as mainly another element in her sonic arsenal. This time around,
King put more effort into both her vocals and the lyrics she wrote for
such deeply felt tracks as "Pull Me Out Alive," "Saving Days In A
Frozen Head," "Life Being What It Is," and "2 O'Clock," the latter two
of which she describes as break-up songs. "The words mean something
now," she says. "They're actually telling stories."
