Album Description
**GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ALBUM** Ki ho'alu, or slack key refers to the altered tunings of the acoustic guitar that are unique to the musical heritage of Hawai'i. Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 was recorded in the heart of "Paniolo" (Hawaiian Cowboy) country where the slack key guitar style originated. This CD presents 10 extraordinary slack key artists, each with their own tuning and slack key style ranging from traditional to contemporary showing an evolution of this art form. Slack Key Guitar Volume 2 won the first ever Best Hawaiian Music Album Grammy at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards! It is the sequel to "Slack Key Guitar", a HOKU Award finalist and top selling CD on Palm Records.

Customer Reviews
Listen to this when you want calm.
Slack Key Guitar Vol. 2 is a marvelous recording. It is great music, played by a selection of wonderful musicians. I copied my CD to my MP3 player so I can listen to it in situations away from home when I want something soothing, e.g., over the roar while riding in a jet airplane, or when I was in the hospital for several days with the constant commotion one hears in a multi-bed room. I loved this recording so much, I bought vol. 1 and a solo recording of slack key guitar by Sonny Lim, who plays on this recording.
Disappointed with purchase
I was looking for some good Hawaiian music -- this album is not what I thought it was. It was displayed with all the Hawaiian music, but it doesn't even sound Hawaiian. Once opened however I was unable to return it, so I guess I'm stuck with it.
Even Southerners Love It
I own Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters volumes I and II, in addition to Slack Key Guitar I. This CD is by far the best because there are no vocals on it.
The music is all original. I live down in South Carolina and even the southerners love it. My boss asks me to play it whenever we have upper-class old-fashioned clients.
It's nice to spread the aloha. This CD certainly does the trick.
