All tracks are instrumentals except where vocalists are mentioned. If you like a blend or a mix of Country & Hawaiian steel guitar music with some vocals executed by Western singer Rex Allen or Hawaiian vocalist Danny Kuaana then you shouldn't do without this CD. It presents Jerry Byrd when he was at his peak in the country field when he already did Hawaiian music once in awhile. When demand for his lap steel without pedals faded he turned his back on country music and moved to Hawaii where he exclusively kept recording his favorized type of music.
