 An odd collection with plenty of discoveries September 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A long overdue Steel Guitar box collection beginning with an entire CD devoted to pretty early Hawaiian and Hawaiian style performances including an example of Sol Hoopii's pre-jazz/pop playing. As a steel guitar player myself I find very little of this NOT interesting! There is definitely a mix of instrumentals vs. vocal performances demonstratiing what the steel
can do as a a dynamic blending element, a mood under-liner and the center of the melody. One fascinating blunder is the graphic on the cover has a PICTURE of BUD ISAACS in the circle all the way to right on the cover and the name above the picture is BUDDY EMMONS when neither of these HIGHLY influential performers are credited or from what I have noticed even INCLUDED in this box anywhere!! Both Buds are exceptional and original players from somewhat overlapping periods that probably deserve to be in this anthology somewhere for sure. Not really a problem though just because this collection is quirky and interesting anyway and fun to listen to.
great stuff June 19, 2008

Most of the recordings are pre-1960....so the sound quality is going to be an issue, especially the stuff recorded in the 1930's. That having been said, the Bob Wills, Milton Brown, and Speedy West stuff is the primest of the prime. Top drawer stuff. If you like western swing and honky tonk, this is a great place to start.

I am so disappointed with this set of cds. Recording quality as well as material. I was expecting some great steel guitar music....Not so.Wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
