Allison Krauss lends her voice to the title track. Viktor Krauss plays the bass. Sam Bush adds some mandolin, Jerry Douglas contributes some dobro, Sonny Landreth drops in and plays some killer slide guitar. Even Ricky Scaggs joins the party. While two or three of the fifteen songs are overly slick, the rest are really good.
Some tunes start Hawaiian and get a brief country reprise, or vice versa.
Nashville, it is still more island style than anything else. Cyril sounds so much like his father that it would be scary if it wasn't fantastic, but it's just right. Falsetto and baritone vocals complement the playing at times, just like his daddy did. What my friend learned was that slack key is something you experience not just with your ears, but in your heart, bones and blood. But he did not record his first album until 1971.
