Even Southerners Love It.......2007-06-02

I have several slack key guitar CDs to include Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters volumes I and II, and Slack Key Guitar I. This CD is by far the best that I've collected so far. The reason being is that the aforementioned CDs include songs with chanting/singing. I love this CD because there are no vocals on it.

The music is all original and very calming. I live down in South Carolina and even the southerners love it. My boss asks me to play it whenever we have upper-class blue-blood clients.

It's nice to spread the aloha. This CD certainly does the trick.

Excellent first slack key purchase!.......2006-12-31

We first heard this CD when we were on a tour of Mauna Kea and fell in love with it! It is an excellent CD for anyone wanting to hear some of the best slack key guitar music for the first time. We highly recommend it to anyone wanting to expand their musical library.

Excellent!!.......2006-03-28

Beautiful~~ Soothing~~
What a thrill this CD won the Grammy for the first ever Hawaiian Music category. This CD features slack key guitarists who truly embody the beauty of all things Hawaiian. Their talent individually is incredible-- collectively it is mind boggling. If you've ever personally seen any of them play, you know what I mean. Slip this CD in the player, dim the lights, kick back and relax. Let these guys take over & you'll swear you feel the warm sun, hear the gentle waves rolling in, and see the beauty of the immense diversity of the countryside throughout the Hawaiian islands.

First ever Hawaiian GRAMMY AWARD WINNER!!.......2005-02-20

This is an excellent choice for you!! Recently noted as the FIRST EVER HAWAIIAN GRAMMY AWARD WINNER, you will love this album!! The soothing melodies of slack key will take your breath away.
