Hawaiian Tough.......2005-07-08

The best example of Ki ho`alu and Steel Guitar existing. I fell for this the first time I heard it and would love to see more similar recordings. Unfortunately Uncle Barney has passed and Dancing Cat (George Winston) has folded its tent. George Kuo is still touring and producing wonderful ki ho`alu, currently with Aaron Mahi and Martin Pahinui.

What a Great Blending of Hawaiian Instruments!.......2003-08-04

I just knew I would love this CD, and it even surpassed my greatest expectations! These duets, with just an acoustic steel guitar played by an older master, Alvin "Barney" Isaacs, Jr. and one of the younger generation's great slack key players, George Kuo, create a most beautiful blending of old and new sounds.

This CD is so beautiful you will be hoping it will never end. I can only hope they will record more of such dreamy and easy-listening Hawaiian music. In my estimation, together they make one of the sweetest sounds this side of heaven!! Do bless us again real soon, Barney and George!!

Just buy it.......1999-10-06

I own about 10 Hawaiian music CDs, and this one is my all-time favorite. It's perfectly relaxing and mellow. Just hearing the first chord is enough to (mentally) transport me to a secluded beach on Maui.

This music will transport you into another beautiful world........1998-12-04

This recording is an absolute gem. Two unique forms of Hawaiian guitar music, slack key and Hawaiian steel, are combined and played by two masters from hawaii. If you enjoy acoustic guitar, dobro, or blue grass finger picking music, this CD is a must. If you like to listen to Spanish or acoustic jazz guitar, this CD is a must. If you enjoy Hawaii, or maybe you have never heard true Hawaiian guitar music, this CD is a must. The recording is very high quality and captures the subtleties of both musicians and their instruments.
