This is a thread about cool island music like Don Tiki's The Natives are Restless Tonight.→[More:]Brother jonmc has been kicking out some pretty fantastic jams lately, I'm wondering how well versed he is in the island variety of sweet tracks.

Got cred? Lay it on out!

I got some Sol Hoopi and other old-timers at home, and some stuff by an outfit called These Trails who tried to combine psych and traditional Hawaiian back in the 60's, and some other odds and ends. But it'll have to wait till after work.

That These Trails looks intriguing. I too have to wait til after work to upload/download.

Well, it's better on paper than in actual execution, sadly, but it's still OK.

Also, the cheeseteak I had for lunch has made my keyboard all greasy and shiny.

fenriq I love the total and complete hell out of that tune. I have some ultra lounge stuff, but I've also been looking for some hawaiian slack key guitar, instrumentals or otherwise.

chewatadistance, yeah, it did that for me too. Just a sweet sense of cool emanates from it. I'm glad it got you too!
