True Hawaiian

If you like Hawaiian music, IZ is the man. I love his renditions of Hawaiian and traditinal music. He has a beautiful voice. "Over the Rainbow",in his unique style, is a definite favorite. I play his CD's over and over again - a vicarious trip to the islands.

IZ

This is a special type of recording that not everyone would care for. It is what I would call a Kamaaina type of CD; i.e., if you like down home Hawaiian style, it's great. Having lived in HI for over 18 yrs, I really dig it. The reason I say this is that it's the type of recording that's rather "off-the-wall." There's false starts, talking and just plain uke strumming and picking up words as he goes along, but it's real. These are recordings as they actually happened rather than having been rehearsed. For those that have sat around a bonfire eating pig and poi, listening to uke players, I'm sure they will enjoy it!

one of a kind!

Iz was truely one of a kind. A multi talented singer and song writer, who can pull you into his music and surround you with the warmth of the islands. I highly recomend this CD. Great Hawaiian music that will be enjoyed by all.

IZ...incredible!

What a great CD! This CD is so beautiful; it depicts the true feeling of the Hawaiian islands and the people that live there. I have listened to alot of Hawaiian CDs and this one tops the mark. Buy it and enjoy...you won't be disappointed.

Alone In IZ World is worth a look

This was the first Israel Kamakawiwo'ole cd I had listened to. I think despite the fact that at least one of the songs (Mona Lisa) wasn't finished it's an excellent CD. The song "Somewhere over the Rainbow" is a beautiful Hawaiian rendition of an old Classic. The CD is lighthearted, fun, and introspective at times, offering a track with audio from Iz talking about his battle with obesity (something hardcore Iz fans might enjoy). The word: if you have all of his CD's and love IZ get this one, if this is your first purchase, buy another and work your way up to this one later.
