Product Description A guitarist and showman beyond compare, Led Kaapana continues to stretch the boundaries of slack key guitar, dazzling audiences with his fretboard improvisations, wide-ranging vocals, and animated stage presence. This recording captures Led in an intimate live setting, playing songs of his `ohana (family) and other Hawaiian classics. Review Hawaiian Slack Key rules! One of the top fortysomething guitar virtuosos - which is saying a lot - Kaapana boasts the most outrageous falsetto and yodel this side of Aaron Neville. The 15 cuts are timeless evocations of Hawaii. - G.S. --New York Daily News Record Reviews While many live albums leave something to be desired, Kaapana's is a real gem, showcasing him alone in an intimate setting, in front of a warm and responsive audience. Although Led is famous for his vocal stylings, in particular his beautiful falsetoo voice, he opts on this release to concentrate on the instrumentals, a rare treat for all. --Keith Haugen - Honolulu Weekly
