Nice and relaxing

"Slack Key West is full of beautiful and relaxing music. Jim West has put together a very nice collection of the hawaiian style of guitar play he fell in love with many years ago when not touring with Weird Al. I gave this CD 4 stars instead of 5 because though it is a very unique sound, after a while some songs may sound the same. But I could sit and listen to the tracks My Hawaiian Heart or Espaniolo all day long. So I give this a soild 4."

One of the best slack key players on the planet!

"I live in Hawaii, play slack key guitar myself and am very familiar with the music of all the well known players in the islands. I had the good fortune of meeting Kimo West in person during a photo shoot on Kauai and he sent me a copy of "Slack Key West".

From the first track and with every single track on the cd - I was blown away with delight and surprise - Kimo West is one of the best of the best and deserves to be widely known and recognized in the world of slack key guitar. His guitar playing has fluidity, style, humor and tenderness that is uniquely his own. Each piece on this album (many of them are original compositions) is a gem. Buy this album - spread the word - this player is the real deal."
