Album Notes

A collection of classic recordings by the original masters of the Hawaiian steel guitar including Sol Ho`opi`i, Frank Ferera and Roy Smeck. These performances demonstrate the wide influence the instrument had on American music, from the Delta blues of Robert Johnson to the pedal steel guitar of modern country music. Both historically important and musically satisfying, Hula Blues should be required listening for all steel guitar enthusiasts.
