The many artists on this album represent the very best from Hawai‘i. This new collection contains both vocal and instrumental tracks, demonstrating how slack key can be played solo, in duets or with varying accompaniment. (‘Ukulele, acoustic steel guitar and two or more guitars). This compilation serves as a great introduction to the wealth of artists and styles characterizing slack key guitar today.
