Title: Tender, melodic, beautiful music that captures Hawaii
Review: I was introduced to "Brudda Iz" while in Hawaii on my honeymoon and immediately fell in love. That such a soaring, gentle voice could come from such a huge man playing such a small instrument is amazing. I've heard nothing before or since that so captures the feel of what Hawaii is - what it was to me, anyway. Even his songs sung in his native Hawaiian, which I couldn't understand a bit of, were equally beautiful. The highlight of this disc, however, is Iz's now classic take on Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Beautiful World. I don't think that any song can match it for sheer emotion and feeling. Buy this CD and find yourself surprised to know how to say his real name, but to know him only as "Brudda Iz."
