CD Reviews

I judge all my other slack key cds against this one...

vickun | Hawaii | 06/01/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bought it on May 17. Ended up buying 11 (and counting) other slack key music cds. But still my favorite overall. I can't sing, but do want to learn to play slack key, so this instrumental cd of solo (no other instrument) slack key inspires me. You will not go wrong buying this one!The mellow performances match my personality, and bring to mind images of balmy breezes and swaying trees.I've been looking for another instrumental cd of solo slack key performances, but have yet to find one that matches this one...except maybe Ozzie Kotani's, and Ledward Kaapana's live CD.If you are wanting to play slack key, listen to this one and hear what can be achieved, without being distracted by other instruments."

Brings back visit to Hawaii

"I had no idea what Slack Key Guitar was until finally took the wrapper off this CD and played it. Love this CD. Very relaxing. Great backgound music-can let it play all day. Brings back the memories of our visit to Hawaii."

Very enjoyable slack key guitar

"This is wonderful music played by excellent musicians. I would have given it five stars had I not first heard Slack Key Guitar vol. 2, which I think is slight better (certainly a little longer)."
