I suppose the artist credit should go to virtuoso of the Hawaiian steel Bud Tutmarc (good on you, Bud) but as his Anonymity At All Costs record company don't credit him on the front sleeve let's save his blushes, particularly as ol' Bud should be embarrassed by this thoroughly cheesey set of renditions of hymn favourites ("Softly And Tenderly", "Amazing Grace", etc, etc) given ludicrous 'Waki Hulu Hicky Dula'-style renditions which might bless your Christian Aunt Gladys if she'd had a mighty spiritual experience Waikiki or, more perversely, if you'd developed a taste for High Camp, but sounds like trite muzak to you and I. Nelson Word know what they're doing distributing such rubbish (shifting units that's what, squire) while we humble music buffs can only look on appalled.
