Sol Hoopii in Hollywood

Sol Hoopii is widely recognized as the greatest Hawaiian steel guitarist of any era. In 1925 he recorded his first 78s for the Hollywood Record Company. These highly influential performances forever changed the face of Hawaiian steel guitar and they are all reissued here together with additional tracks by other Hawaiian artists who recorded for the Hollywood label, namely Coppock's Hawaiians, Charles Fredericks and Charlie Diamond. All 26 tracks are digitally remastered by Ted Kendall and are previously unissued on CD.
