A vital document for anyone interested in Hawaiian music

We Say...
Yes, Hawaii has the hula and the slide guitar, but it also has the slack key guitar (so called for its many different tunings) tradition. The Hawaiians inherited the guitar from 19th-century Mexican cowboys who worked there, but it's really only since World War II that slack key has begun to come into its own. This nifty collection covers all the historical bases, from the first commercial slack key recording ("Hi'Ilawe" by the granddaddy of the genre, Gabby Pahinui, in 1947) to other influential pioneers of the style, including a woman, Mama Tina Kaapaana. Much of it's raw and undeveloped, but Pahinui's tracks — he has a quarter of the cuts here &8212; stand head and shoulders above the others, with a fully formed, complex style of acoustic picking and beautiful melodies that would become the gold standard for slack key as it started to come of age in the 1970s. It's a vital document for anyone interested in slack key or Hawaiian music.
