		Sol Hoopii will never be a household name, but his recordings--especially these tunes recorded between 1925 and 1930--had a profound impact on music, influencing both country and blues and helping launch America's burgeoning "world music" craze.
		A master of the steel guitar, Hoopii melded Tin Pan Alley tunes, jazz, and even gospel together with traditional Hawaiian music to create a lush blend of virtuoso showpieces at the same time as America was embracing the culture of the not-yet-fiftieth state.
		Hoopii's performances of standards such as "Stack O'Lee" or "I Ain't Got Nobody" are like no one else's, exotic yet instantly recognizable.

		Sol Hoopii, the greatest Hawaiian steel guitarist of all time, was my father's idol.
		It was our joy to meet Sol Hoopii personally in 1942 and we were all very close for the next 11 years until Sol's death, here in Seattle in 1953.
		I, like my father, appreciated the stylings and abilities of Sol Hoopii and imagine what a thrill it was for me, at the age of 18 years, to personally meet Sol and play rhythm guitar for him.

	Sol Hoopii : Master of the Hawaiian Guitar, Vol. 2 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The second volume of Hawaiian guitar treasures from Hoopii covers the years 1927 all the way into 1951, near the end of his life and the last recordings he would make.
		By now, Hoopii had developed his trademark C# minor tuning, and these middle- and late-period recordings show the depth and breadth of the inventions he could pull out of it at will.
		One of the great innovators of steel guitar, discovering the beauty of Sol Hoopii's music is one of the great rewards for those willing to invest the time to seek him out.

		Hoopii even conquered Hollywood, scoring music for Betty Boop's Bamboo Isle and appearing with Bing Crosby.
		Two Rounder compilations, Master of the Hawaiian Guitar, Volumes 1 and 2, demonstrate why Sol Hoopii will always be considered the king of Hawaiian steel.

		I was raised on Sol's music since I could remember and was a little remiss to think that since I had become a Christian I shouldn't be listening to Sol's (very jazzy) music.
		What a thrill it was to our entire family when we heard that Sol Hoopii had also given his heart to the Lord and was now a Christian, serving the Lord now with his music.
		What a thrill it was for me to meet Sol Hoopii PERSONALLY in Seattle in November of 1942.

		Hoopii was a classic example of the "natural sophisticated musical instincts" so many Hawaiians possess.
		Hoopii heard Bix, and that sent him to another level on steel guitar.
		Andy Iona's sound was to let the steel bar sit on the wound strings and without picking the strings, would cause a "drone" chord caused by the slide bar moving slightly vibrato-like over the strings, almost an organ like sound...very pretty.

		The first one I'll tell you about is "Radio Sol" This CD is by Sol Hoopii and his Hawaiians playing his eight famous 1938 electric steel instrumentals...
		In fact the Sol is so good I just ordered an extra copy to be mailed as a gift direct to my pal in Hawaii, Ken Emerson (a brilliant acoustic steel player himself and big fan of Sol's).
		Both Iona and Ho'opi'i were master guitarists employing sparkling technique along with the ability to grandstand in breath-taking style when the occasion called for it.

		“Those of you familiar with Sol Hoopii, and Benny Nawahi will already own some of the music on this CD but even you will want it for the fifteen tracks that you won't have heard before.
		The opening track `Paolo,' recorded in 1927 by the great Hawaiian steel guitar player, Sol Hoopii, is a hot-swinging fox-trot with a three-part 1930's style vocal harmony sung in Hawaiian.
		Hoopii, who recorded more than 200 sides during his career, performs his astounding chops on the National Tri-Cone Hawaiian guitar, which can also be heard on his 1934 recording of `Hula Girl.' The 24 other cuts range from old-timey ragtime marches to cowboy kickers, and then back to traditional Hawaiian hulas.

		There are also plenty of oddball cultural collisions, such as the mix of flashy steel guitar picking and cornball Scottish dialect on Sol K. Bright's version of Harry Lauder's music hall oldie, "A Wee Doech an' Doris", which closes the album out.
		Sol Hoopii performs some of the songs on it along with other Hawaiian guitarists and singers of that time.
		It makes you think of old Hollywood, the William Randolph Hearst Holywood and it makes you wish you had the album on record instead of on CD so that you could play it faster or slower depending on your taste (the same holds true for Sol Hoopii Vol 1 & 2).
