Customer Reviews:

Great set of rare Hawaiian recordings.......2005-10-09

A great collection of vintage Hawaiian recordings fromt he 1920s and '30s. Although this set includes plenty of great picking, the emphasis is on Hawaii's unique vocal traditions, including bright, poppy harmonies as well as the more striking (and sometimes inaccessible "leo ki'eki'e" (falsetto) singing style. Guitarist/archivist Bob Brozman curated this collection, which includes several rare 78s (including a couple that are notably scratchy, but hey, if Brozman says these are the best copies available, I believe him!) Includes stars such as Sol K. Bright, Kalama's Quartet, George Ku, Tau Moe and Sol Hoopii, as well as a few less well-known artists. It's another beautiful, elegant, lively set -- a lot of fun, and well worth picking up. Recommended!

I became mesmerized by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's voice in his "Facing" album, so when I found this CD in my public library,put out by the great Rounder Record Corp.,I had to give it a try. It evokes a beautiful place in years gone by, before all of the commercialization. Nostalgic and haunting and funky. IZ and this CD are 6 decades apart, but the spirit runs through.

Felix Mendelshon (1940-45) - a much better altnerative than this CD.
