Album Description

**GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ALBUM** Ki ho'alu, or slack key refers to the altered tunings of the acoustic guitar that are unique to the musical heritage of Hawai'i. Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 was recorded in the heart of "Paniolo" (Hawaiian Cowboy) country where the slack key guitar style originated. This CD presents 10 extraordinary slack key artists, each with their own tuning and slack key style ranging from traditional to contemporary showing an evolution of this art form. Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 won the first ever Best Hawaiian Music Album Grammy at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards! It is the sequel to "Slack Key Guitar", a HOKU Award finalist and top selling CD on Palm Records.

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

I LOVE this CD. It is relaxing, uplifting and warmly stirring.
I have given it as a gift and it was loved as well. If you like guitar you will love this!!

Maika'i Nui Loa!!.......2005-02-26

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.

A breath of fresh air.......2006-07-03

Just got this CD and it,s #1 on ny play list!!! This CD is full of Outstanding Vocals,Melodies,and outstanding Musicianship...
Great ole time sounds that sound Fresh,and new! Henry Bogdan on National Tricone RULES! Thanks guys for making music that you can enjoy listing to. Michael

Spirited Away.......2005-07-04

This CD is lotsa fun and way cool with excellent music. I first saw the Moonlighters at a teeny-tiny club in Brooklyn, then bought the CD. Although I worried the CD might not live up to the AMAZING QUALITY of the live perf, lo! The CD is AMAZING, too.

Be prepared for kicky tunes with Hawaiian slide guitar and tight female harmonies. (Oops - the harmonies are tight, not the women who sing them! In fact if you see the Moonlighters in concert you'll find all four performers PERKY and GROOVY.)

Some classic songs, like "42nd Street", have transitioned nicely to Hawaiian swing. Others are dark and funky. I play the CD so much it's driving my boyfriend crazy. "Enough with the slide guitar!" he rants. So now we just play it in the morning before work - it works better than coffee.

If you like snappy, energetic tunes with rather superb musicianship, this album has YOUR NAME written on. This is the kind of small, indie music product that puts the blockbuster industry to shame, shame, shame.

Me, Myself, and I.......2002-05-02

I bought this album on the strength of this really cool Hawaiian track with slack key guitar called, Me, Myself, and I. Then, realized that it wasn't on this album. Oh well.

It's a good enough album though.

a different take on acoustic hawaiian music.......2000-08-04

hawaiian steel guitar on top of a ukelele band with andrew sister's/dan hick's style retro female harmonized vocals throughout. well done. the record keeps the lazy, island feel going throughout. great dinner party music or hot summer activity music. excellent, considering i've never heard of these guys before. it does for hawaiian music what "pink martini" does for european lounge dinner music. pink martini is a better cd, but i'm quibbling.
