4.0 out of 5 stars A good introductory album, June 21, 2001

This review is from: Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar in the Real Old Style (Audio CD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Beamer Sounds Great, July 15, 2000

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".

Since I bought the recordings of Keola Beamer back in 1978, I have been a fan of his. His music brings joy to the people that listen to it. He has developed into a multi-talented artist in the last 30 years and I have bought most of his albums that are now on CD. If you want to listen to his music, just sit back, with a glass of wine and relax and enjoy. You will not regret it!
