The ukelele is an instrument that has always been a favorite with rock musicans of all ages. George Harrison was a big uke fan. So is Leslie West and Andy Davis, guitarist in Stackridge. The follow up to the 2003 first volume, the 2008 CD release of Legends Of The Ukelele 2 continues on with 16 new, easy on the ears, uke-based tracks covering a wealth of musical styles from a variety of artists. With a wealth of relaxing instrumental music—from bossa nova, light rock and Latin to surf instrumental and traditional Hawaiian—Legends Of The Ukelele 2 features a number of accomplished artists including Jake’s brother Bruce Shimabukuro and Hawaii-based guitarist Brittni Paiva and more including a very George Harrison-esque uke instro original from Hawaii’s one man band Imua Garza. Detailed track by track liner notes are filled with historic uke-centric photos and vital artist information. www.cordinternational.com
