| | King Bennie Nawahi Hawaiian String Virtuoso: Steel Guitar Recordings Of The 1920S CD King Bennie Nawahi Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
King Bennie Nawahi is, without a doubt, the finest Hawaiian slide player that ever lived. As the excellent liner notes to this superb collection explain, the slide guitar sound became very popular in the early part of the 20th Century. And while it was a novelty style for many, Nawahi's unequaled chops and fine melodic sense raised it to a true art form. There's bouncing swing ("Signin' in the Bathtub") that is charming in itself. But there is also heartbreaking and haunting treatments of traditional tunes here as well. Indeed, "Mauna Kea" belongs with Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night..." as one of the finest slide performances ever captured. For fans of classic jazz, world music, and great guitar, this disc is beyond essential. ~ Tim Sheridan

It was a close battle but Drifting Sand won!Debut CD Surfpop, produced by SF's legendary Lester Temple, was released in 1999 and featured fun songs like Perfect Wave, Sand Is Your Friend, Root Beer Float and new versions of the band's Birds Can't Surf and Shark! Shark!Surfpop also featured a bonus track of almost an hour's worth of soothing surf sounds that one drifting fan remarked as her favorite song on the CD! Kenney Dale Johnson, Chris Isaak's drummer, played drums on Surfpop. Kenney recorded all of his drum parts in one afternoon session in between Chris Isaak gigs.Song At The Mercy Of the Wave was the surf report theme, heard during the Howard Stern show on LIVE 105 for many years.Three songs have made the Top 5 on ...
