Title: Not Classic Don Ho
Review: This is not a good example of classic Don Ho Hawaiian music. The addition of audiance participation takes away from the songs. Also the addition of accordian and harmonica is not traditional for Hawaiian music. Don Ho had a smooth, deep, romantic voice and it is covered up by the amateur background singers and musicians. The style of the songs is not like the originals. Some of these songs sounds more like country/western, pop, and maybe a little Lawrence Welk added. I was very disappointed. I have several old LP's of Don Ho singing all his classics, including Tiny Bubbles, I'll Remember you, and Beautiful Kauai. Which by the way are the only good songs on this CD. I hate to pull out the old LP's when I want good Hawaiian music, but looks like that is what I'll have to do. I lived in Hawaii, so I know what the real things sounds like, and this IS NOT it. Don't waste your money.
