Album Notes

Slack key guitar fans everywhere, recommend SLACK KEY TRADITION -- one of the best-selling ki ho`alu albums of it time. Out of print for years, it is now available again!

The four talented musicians on this CD -- Gary Haleamau, Nolan Ha`o Robert Keli`iho`omalu, Jr., and Elmer "Sonny" Lim -- have been playing Hawaiian slack key guitar from when they were barely taller than the guitar they held. All were born and raised on the big island of Hawai`i. They learned the old way...from family members, in a true folk tradition. Some of the songs are ones that have been passed on to them in this manner. Others are more contemporary interpretations. Immerse yourself in these guitar melodies, for they carry with them in the rich lineage of Hawaiian SLACK KEY TRADITION.
