They Will Rock You, Vol. 2: Kaki King

Artist No. 15

The Deal: Named the first-ever female "Guitar God" by Rolling Stone, the Atlanta-born virtuoso plays the guitar something fierce. Obscured by a six-string Ovation, her 5-foot frame barely curves to fit the body of her guitar, but size doesn't matter as King picks, pounds and hammers her instrument in an awe-inducing barrage of freewheeling percussion, hypnotic melodies, left-field progressions and two-handed finger-tapping.

Sounds Like: Leo Kottke, Ani DiFranco
