Comment: The cd is awesome. The condition I received it in was not so good. the case was completely destroyed, I was surprised and thankful that the cd was unharmed. I would think the packaging would be a little more secure.

Comment: If you've ever wondered where that charming version of "Over The Rainbow" with only voice and ukulele comes from, this is it.

Comment: My liddle bruddah'--oops, slipped right into the Island Patois there! If you love music as I do and prefer the truly gifted artists over the mass produced pap crowding the airwaves, get any of IZ's cds. I find that they get played when I need to concentrate, when I need to relax, when I need to think. My brother turned me on to Is when he was working in Hawaii. Since then, I can't seem to get enough! His voice floats effortlessly, like a rainbow floating in the morning mist. He has a solid band and his own Ukelele playing is simplicity at its most deceptive. If it were EASY, everyone would sing and play like Iz! His music is a reflection of how you'd feel after a few weeks on a deserted beach in Hawaii, and yes, they do exist! No condos, no traffic, just the rhythm of the rock, the ocean, the life surrounding you. His music is especially poignant in that he died so young (38) and there are so few 'pure' artists of his ilk. By pure artists, I mean people who would play a concert for their cat or a stadium---for artists like these, it is just about the music.
If your taste runs more to metal/hip hop/pop,give this a try. You will find yourself sneaking it into the car, your ipod, wherever you want a little of the beauty and joy in life that was personified and sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

Summary: Beautiful sounds
Comment: I was introduced to Brudda IZ by hearing his version of "Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World" on "Coast to Coast AM" one night. At first I was not sure if I really liked his arrangement but I could not get the tune out of my head. I looked for and found his music on "Amazon" and have one of his CD's now. I enjoy it very much. It is differnt from the music I usually listen to but I find the melodies very comforting and pleasant. Brudda IZs' voice is a real treat to hear also. We all lost something when he passed away.
