(V/A) Hula Blues: Vintage Steel Guitar Instrumentals from the '30 and '40s (Rounder, 1974)

A brief but groundbreaking survey of scratchedy early 20th Century Hawaiian steel-string instrumentals. This is the first such compilation of its kind, originally released by Rounder Records in 1974. To get deep with the vintage hawaiian vibe, and a smattering of the classic artists anthologized herein, might I recommend a quick jaunt over to Owl's place and then maybe to Cagedream, for some more Roy Smeck. Enjoy.

This Lemuel Turner track sounds like straight-up bottleneck blues:
