Love this album. We sit out on the deck or the hammock in the backyard, put on Kimo's music, close our eyes and be transported to some beautiful island. The only bad thing I can say is when the CD is over and we open our eyes, reality of not being on that island is dissapointing.
Push play, start again...

"My Hawaiian Heart" may be the most beautiful song I've ever heard, and the entire album will touch your soul and take you straight to the islands. I frequently play it in my car and everyone who hears it wants to know who it is and where they can pick up or download a copy.
Love this cd!

I live in Hawaii, play slack key guitar myself and am very familiar with the music of all the well known players in the islands. I had the good fortune of meeting Kimo West in person during a photo shoot on Kauai and he sent me a copy of "Slack Key West".
From the first track and with every single track on the cd - I was blown away with delight and surprise - Kimo West is one of the best of the best and deserves to be widely known and recognized in the world of slack key guitar. His guitar playing has fluidity, style, humor and tenderness that is uniquely his own. Each piece on this album (many of them are original compositions) is a gem. Buy this album - spread the word - this player is the real deal.
