Heaven in slack strings and smooth voices.......2006-11-10

If you want to be exposed to some of the best slack-key music around and a wide variety as well, this is the first of several albums you MUST add to your collection. Period. Clean. Clear. Wonderful recordings that make and contain the whole notion of 'Aloha' and so much more.

Here are the islands, the winds, volcanoes rising from the waves, morning light, beach sands. Here are smooth voices, restful voices. Here are joyful moods, playful echoes, and a fascinating blend of ancient textures with new age notions.

Get it. Play it. Play it again. Let it take you to new places where 'mahalo' grabs your soul. It is what it is. Relax. Enjoy.

A rare peaceful treat!.......2006-05-29

This instrumental Hawaiian guitar music album plays like a blessing in song. The melodies are achingly beautiful. It can transform the darkest mood.

The tradition of Hawaiian slack key started in the 1800's when guitars were first introduced to the Islands. The instruments were adapted to Hawaiian musical traditions. Hawaiian musicians developed their own tunings which in some cases were passed down through the generations.

Ordinarily these guitarists are not heard solo. Luckily for us, we have this collection of Hawaiian slack key guitarists. Enjoy this beautiful album!

Don't think twice, just buy this album.......2006-04-12

Hawaiian slack guitar is perfect for bringing down your blood pressure, concentrating on work or just for fun. This is the first review I have written and it's only because I feel this album brings me to a higher consciousness and I want to share the experience.

The Best Slack Key Collection?.......2006-03-22

It could be. I have a pretty extensive collection of slack key CDs, and this is my favorite. Without it, I may have never heard Ozzie Kotani or Moses Kahumoku. It's beautifully recorded, the liner notes are well written, plus they give all the tunings.
