Customer Reviews:

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.

Hula with an R & B spin!.......2007-05-13

I enjoyed the mix of traditional hula with some songs taking on an R & B spin.

Awesome for KIDS! Puts them to sleep!.......2006-03-19

I listened to this music (my daughter is half Hawaiian) when my daughter was a baby ten years ago and it would always soothe her and put her to sleep because it's so soothing and beautiful. Now, my son, when he teeths he is inconsolible! He will not stop for a bottle, to be rocked, sang to, put down in his bed, etc. But I play this, and not even 3 seconds later, he is on his way to la la land. It is wonderful. I recommend it to any parent! Or anyone who wants to de-stress.

My Favorite CD.......2006-02-17

Keali'i Reichel has such a nice mellow voice.
His Music is so soothing and Kawaipunahele is my favorite CD of his works!
Keali'i Reichel includes familar songs along with the Hawaiian theme that puts you in a very mellow mood.
Only wish I had this CD when my kids were all small.
I have bought two of this CD one I bought in Hawaii and this one I bought for my girlfriend because she drives a Limo and would use it in the Limo.

Feel the Spirit of Aloha.......2006-02-08

I bought this CD on Maui, listened to it while we were there, brought it home and listened to it and, thanks to the included lyrics, learned the words to all the songs. I don't speak much Hawaiian, but I now can sing some songs in Hawaiian. Keali'i Reichel has a wonderful voice, great talent, a love for Hawaiian traditions and his legacy, and I can feel the Spirit of Aloha as he sings the songs on this CD.

You've got to have this one!.......2005-08-30

As you know, all of Keali'i's CD's are recommended. This one was his debut CD, released in 1994. It features traditional Hawaiian favorites such as "Akaka Falls," as well as original compositions including "E Ho'i I Ka Pili," "Kauanoeanuhea," and the title track, "Kawaipunahele." It also contains cover versions of The Beatles' "In My Life" and Sticks' "Come Sail Away." Keali'i's chanting comes across at the beginning of "In My Life" and in the last track, "He Mele Inoa No Kawaipunahele." Be sure to pick this one up!

Sara Hickman's spring-loaded Toddler plays like a 2-year-old's trip to the zoo. What's around the bend is anybody's guess, but because each creature is as kooky or adorable or exotic as the one that came before it, you can hardly wait to get there. Think of it as a 31-track grab-bag: "I Got You Babe," its lyrics modified from "I got you to wear my ring" to "I got you to push me on the swing," butts up against "Storytime with Tish Hinojosa," a spoken-word saga of feline demise and rat liberation; the 1930s safety song "Remember Your Name & Address" swings out soberly on the heels of "Mr. Kawasaki (the Wok Song)," a gastronomic gross-out detailing a stir-fry gone wrong; and a hip-hop take on "This Little Light of Mine" thumps along in the hands of guest vocalist MC Overlord before this CD shoves off to Hawaii for "Pupu Hinuhinu." Interspersed are more spoken-word tracks (someone called Mr. Peppermint takes a turn, as do Sara and other friends), old standbys like "Freres Jacques" and "Duke of York," and, with "Waar Is Mijn Dulfje (Where is My Baby Bird)" and the Hebrew "Hiney Rakavet," there are some stabs at toddler world music. Where most CDs that string together snatches of this and that collapse into catchalls--nothing special--Toddler stands steady on its feet, buoyed by Hickman's wit, spunk, and way with a song. Her's is a voice as warm and inviting as a best-loved blanket, calling to mind Karen Carpenter in calmer moments, and what she chooses to wrap it around will leave moms, dads, and tots hoping she takes this boringly titled series, which started with Newborn, all the way past Tween and College Kid to Old Geezer. --Tammy La Gorce

One of the best or little ones!!.......2007-07-30

I got this when my kids were 2 and 5. They both LOVE it. The songs and the stories. This is really wonderful. I like it, too! They are original and have kid appeal right away.

something to sing about.......2007-07-15

OUR CHILD LOVES IT WHEN HER FATHER AND I SING SONGS TO HER. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT WE COULD ONLY THINK OF A FEW SONGS FROM OUR CHILDHOOD AND EVEN THEN THE VERSES WERE A LITTLE HAZY. THIS CD IS WONDERFUL BECAUSE IT HAS SOME OF THE CLASSICS I REMEMBER AND A LOT OF ONES I'D NEVER HEARD BEFORE. THE LYRICS ARE EASY AND THE SONGS THEMSELVES AREN'T THAT LONG. SO, IN ONE CAR RIDE (AND A FEW RETAKES LATER) YOU TOO CAN BE AN OLD PRO.
LOVE IT!

I love the variety.......2007-07-07

I bought Sara Hickman's toddler album after listening to her Newborn album. I'm an even bigger fan of the Toddler album. The songs are all upbeat, but from different musical genres. I walk around all day singing the songs we hear on the way in to work.

Love this CD........2007-01-09

This is a sweet and well balanced CD. My husband and I fell in love with it right away, and my daughter started to like it after it's played a few times. She can now sing a few songs from it. It's so funny to hear her sing the weenie man. :) Now it's one of our favorite CDs.

The Perfect Kid CD.......2006-11-02

The warning i'm going to give is also the best reason to buy it! If you play this in your car for your 3 year old, you will never hear any other music besides this CD EVER again! Keep them happy! Buy it now! of course, there are one or two throw away tracks, but after the 20-something song, no one notices!

How a uke should sound!!!.......2007-05-13

I have been a fan of the ukulele since growing up in Hawaii and hearing some really good players. IZ of course is a favorite with his ability to make a few clear notes have so much feeling. Troy in this CD captures some really great uke playing and has the ability to have a lot of flourish without going over the top(easy to do I guess). There is good feeling with some very complex playing. I would highly recommend this to someone new to the uke as well as those who have loved it for many years.

Album Description

Keola's gift for musical invention and the creative flair of Keola in a solo setting, where his total talent is exposed without the sometimes protective screen of other musicians and instruments.

Slack key guitar playing is unique to Hawai'i. It found its beginning during the 1880's. Over the years the form was handed down from player to player, with each new player adding new embellishments. Overly simplified, slack key means the loosening of some of the strings, with the thumb playing the bass notes while the other fingers play the melody on the upper strings.

Customer Reviews:

A good introductory album.......2001-06-22

This is a re-release of Keola Beamer's introductory album. It was a precursor of what was to come, but at only 31 minutes long, it leaves you wanting more. He was only 21 when this album was recorded, and the vocals are not as self-assured as they were later to become. But never the less, this is a lovely album...slack key guitar played by one of the masters. The booklet contains notes about Keola, and also about the art of Slack Key, plus a note about each song, 4 of which were written by Keola.

Early Beamer Sounds Great.......2000-07-16

An enjoyable album of Keola's early solo talent. The vocals aren't as polished as on recent recordings, but you can hear what a great musician he was even in 1972. A few of the tunes are so lovely they were also recorded on later albums: "The Beauty of Mauna Kea" , "Pupu Hinuhinu".

Truly a Hawaiian Masterpiece.......2004-05-21

Before buying this CD I'd only heard one of HSB's songs, but I figured I'd give them a try. To date, they are my favorite Hawaiian Band of all time, right next to Brother IZ himself. The spirit of their CD's, especially this one, truly reflects the Island Spirit of Hawaii. So many of these songs are simply wonderful... their music will kindle the Hawaiian spirit within you. I highly recommend this album, along with their album Rhythm of the Ocean.

Vanishing Treasures is the survivor.......2001-11-09

This was the first Hawaiian Style Band's work. The blend of Bryan Keslyer and Sister Robi did a remarkable job. Their style is not a typical Hawaiian music with steel guitar and ukulele. They broke free from the traditional "Hawaiian". Their creation almost sounds like today's music with Hawaiian flavor. Local radio stations still play music from this CD. It is the proof that "Vanishing Treasures" had survived the test of time.

Lost Music.......2000-02-12

This C.D. has just some of the best hawaiian music has to offer. I moved to Seattle a few years ago. I just wanted to say that even though i'm not on the islands anymore. I'll never forget where i'm from and what I am. Hawaiian music touches everyones heart. Thanking the Hawaiian Style Band for singing such awesome songs. Always, Mo!
