Slack-Key Guitar

From the heart of Nashville comes an all-star album that serves up a mix of instrumental mastery, contemporary vocals and island music with a bit of southern hospitality. A master of Hawaiian Slack Key guitar (Kiho’alu), Led is also featured here playing ‘ukulele and the autoharp with an all-star band, including special guests, Jerry Douglas, Sonny Landreth, Sam Bush, Ricky Skaggs, Alison Krauss Bob Brozman George Winston, and more. WALTZ OF THE WIND was recorded in Nashville and includes the poetic title track featuring vocals by Alison Krauss. Although they are musical cousins, this is the first recording combining players from Hawaiian, country and bluegrass music, three uniquely American traditions. As a bonus, pianist George Winston joins Led in a duet of “Fats” Waller’s 1929 Honeysuckle Rose.
