or the first time, Slack Key ‘Ohana’s single “Slack Key Blues,” has been released in its original instrumental form across all digital platforms. Previously available only as a B-side on the physical vinyl and CD editions of the single, the instrumental version was originally composed by Brian Witkin highlighting the musical conversation between blues guitar and slack key guitar, at the heart of “Slack Key Blues.” Produced by Steel Player Rand Anderson (who also penned the lyrics to first release of the song), Chris Hobson, and Slack Key ‘Ohana’s Brian Witkin and Joe Witkin, the track strips the song down to its core — a relaxed yet expressive blend of Hawaiian slack key traditions and American blues, driven by guitar interplay, lap steel textures, and Ukulele by Carol Witkin, bringing an island groove.
