Last we checked in on Kaki King was back in 2008, when she was about to release her album Dreaming Of Revenge. Now she's just released her 5th album, Junior, which has sent "the first and only female Guitar God" back on the road. Prior to all of this, you may have seen her busking in the subway system, which she began doing during her time at NYU.
Before she played Bowery Ballroom last Friday, she dropped by to perform some songs for us. For this session we departed Gothamist HQ in Brooklyn and headed over to Manhattan—special thanks to Family Records, and the folks at Engine Room Audio who were kind enough to let us use their studio. Enjoy!
