Suggestions of Excellent Hawaiian music?


Looking for SONICALLY excellent, as well as good tunes, Hawaiian slack or slide guitar music. Or other island tunes too. Must have been well recorded. Thanks in advance, Mark

I don't know if it meets your standards of excellence, but one I think is pretty good except for one really dumb song is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Facing Future. The Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World medley that was used in Finding Forrester is really nice.
At the moment, I am listening to Keola Beamer playing a duet from an album called Wooden Boat. Then Keola playing something from another album, Moe 'Uhane Kika on Dancing Cat. Both very good recordings.

I have a collection of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters on Dancing Cat Records, which is from their series. Most of the recordings are really good and the original albums are all referenced and pictured in the booklet.
