I actually knew Michael Hedges and saw him many times, I have complimented her on her choice and drive to immulate Michael Hedges but he was his sound and he did it perfectly and grew it. The wall she is hitting-as srelf taught as the book taught her, there are no more pages from that book for her to go any further on his style. Its hard to be unique.

Some people are so talented they make me very jealous.

King has: “One of Hedges’ songs, ‘Ritual Dance’ performed by Kaki King, is featured in the movie August Rush.”

So presumably she shares your high regard for the late Mr. Hedges. 🙂

She’s pretty cool, but ever heard of Michael Hedges?
