Nice collection of Hawaiian music. Mostly instrumental slack key guitar - some vocals, all well played. Nearly all with a relaxing island kind of feel. Picture yourself under a palm tree with a fruity rum drink and just chill…
1. Hawaiian spoken word against gentle strings.
2. Mid/uptempo jazz guitars in harmony. Instr. Well played.
*3. Sunny, happy island instrumental.
*4. Warm, relaxed vocal track. Male harmonies, good guitar. Sigh…
5. Quiet, gentle, romantic and slow. Really pretty.
*6. Midtempo, breezy, sweet. Lazily happy.
7. Slow and rather elegant w/a nostalgic, romantic feeling.
*8. Jazz bass/guitar cover of a James Taylor song. Mid/uptempo.
9. Midtempo and swaying w/a sleepy quality.
10. Tranquil, new age programming backing guitar. Not my fav.
11. Peaceful, slow guitar in a lyrical love song.
12. Live track (with applause), a sweet, sleepy lullaby.
