5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it, October 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hawaiian Touch (Audio CD)

I own about 10 Hawaiian music CDs, and this one is my all-time favorite. It's perfectly relaxing and mellow. Just hearing the first chord is enough to (mentally) transport me to a secluded beach on Maui.

5.0 out of 5 stars This music will transport you into another beautiful world., December 4, 1998

This recording is an absolute gem. Two unique forms of Hawaiian guitar music, slack key and Hawaiian steel, are combined and played by two masters from hawaii. If you enjoy acoustic guitar, dobro, or blue grass finger picking music, this CD is a must. If you like to listen to Spanish or acoustic jazz guitar, this CD is a must. If you enjoy Hawaii, or maybe you have never heard true Hawaiian guitar music, this CD is a must. The recording is very high quality and captures the subtleties of both musicians and their instruments.

The best example of Ki ho`alu and Steel Guitar existing. I fell for this the first time I heard it and would love to see more similar recordings. Unfortunately Uncle Barney has passed and Dancing Cat (George Winston) has folded its tent. George Kuo is still touring and producing wonderful ki ho`alu, currently with Aaron Mahi and Martin Pahinui.
