THE
HISTORY OF
THE HAWAIIAN SLACK KEY GUITAR
The First 20 Commercial Recordings & Tuning Guidelines
(click album to buy)
Produced by George Winston, this anthology brings together the
first twenty commercial recordings of slack key guitar. They date from 1946 to 1950. Without early recordings such
as these, slack key may have disappeared. Thank goodness today it continues to live & grow. Several of the songs
on this disc have assumed the status of standards. While most of the artists featured here made only these few
recordings, others, particularly Gabby Pahinui &Tina Kaapana, went on to record prolifically. The sound of these
wonderfully gifted & individualistic players survive with this anthology for everyone to enjoy & continue to
inspire younger players & touch the hearts of all lovers of slack key. The History of Slack Key Guitar is complete
with extensive historical liner notes & tuning guidelines. And of course we have done extensive computer audio
restoration.
A must-have CD for all slack key lovers!
