Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Lovely acoustic Hawaiian music.......2003-05-12

A beautiful set of acoustic slack-key and vocal numbers, including some nice falsetto work by this accomplished, richly melodic, soulful old-timer. Of the Dancing Cat artists, I think Kane is one of the best-rounded and most consistent, performing in the "smooth" ("nahenalie") style, which opts to avoid the bounce and frenzy of some of the flashier Hawaiian guitar styles. A very nice, gentle album... recommended!

4 out of 5 stars Kane's tone and skill on the guitar stand the test of time........1999-02-17

Ray Kane's virtuosity and clarity on the guitar arrested my attention from the very first notes. Reading about his life in the CD insert just confirmed my impression from the music that he is a loving person as well as a superb musician. He simply plays his heart out and keeps me listening and swaying to the music day after day.

His failing health and faltering voice make the vocals difficult to hear. Now, I wish I had heard him sing some years ago.

Kane's five instrumentals, however, make the CD a cherished first in my new collection of slack key guitar music.
