In February 2006, "Rolling Stone" released a list of "The New Guitar Gods", on which King was the sole woman and youngest artist (beating Derek Trucks in age by two months as the youngest on the list). Her career includes six LP and two EP albums, as well as several scores for television and film. She worked alongside Eddie Vedder and Michael Brook contributing music for the soundtrack to Sean Penn's "Into the Wild", for which the trio received nominations for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.
