Bay of Kings is the seventh solo album from former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. It is Hackett's first full album of classical guitar music, completely instrumental. When Hackett's record company, Charisma Records, refused to release the album over concerns about its commercial viability, Hackett left the label and released Bay of Kings through independent record company Lamborghini Records (no relation to the car). It was later reissued by his own Camino Records. His wife, Kim Poor, originally had a nude portrait painted for the cover, but has since replaced it with a routine painting of her husband.
