Country Comfort - Waimanalo Blues

I stumbled across this and like it.  Not sure if it's Country or not, but if it's finger-pickin' then you're at least Country adjacent.

Very nice giutar work, very Hawaiiian.
I am reading Hampton Sides book about Cook's last voyage to Hawaii. His crew killed one of the first Hawaiians they came across, not a good first impression.

Here country refers to rural. Waimanalo certainly was rural. Unpaved roads, far off the beaten track.
The tune is a favorite. The song is about the buildout of what was once the rural home. Can't go back cuz it doesn't exist no more. Auwe
