Facing Future

CD-Charts > Music > Hawaii
by: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

Release Date September 01, 1993
This is a wonderful CD. He has taken some classic songs and changed the wording to fit Hawaii. I have a special place in my heart for Hawaii so I really liked that. An added benefit is my toddler always relaxes when I play it. I have also used this to teach yoga classes with. I just wish he were still alive to make more music.

Alone in IZ World

I had not heard of this artist until he was gone. His voice is just incredible and his music is wonderfully evocative of the Hawaiian soul.

Wonderful World

CD-Charts > Music > Hawaii
by: Israel Iz Kamakawiwo'ole

Release Date June 26, 2007
Israel Kamakwiwoole had a warm and comforting voice. His talents went so far beyond the hype surrounding him. To sit and to listen, really listen, to what he does on "Wonderful World", to let go and to have almost an hour of delicious enjoyment and relaxation. A Hawaiian moment in one's busy life.

In Dis Life

Release Date December 20, 1996
If you have "Facing Future" and "In IZ World" you've heard some of this music before, but still a solid disc

E Ala E

CD-Charts > Music > Hawaii
by: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, IZ

Release Date October 01, 1995
This CD of music and singing of IZ, a very famous Hawaiian singer is priceless. I now own two others, but this is still my favorite (maybe because it was my first exposure to this artist.) His voice is so soothing, so spiritual, so uplifting. It makes you feel better if you are stressed. Unfortunately, he is deceased (at a young age), and we have only his recordings to enjoy.

Heard a song on the radio and had to have the CD. Did a search on Amazon, of course they had it, and placed the order. Before I knew it, it was in my mailbox and the CD was wonderful the hear. It made me want to go to the islands.

This was disappointing. The talk interrupts the enjoyment of the music. Not good for backround listening.
