5.0 out of 5 stars Swept away..., March 10, 2008

I like Hawaiian music - the more traditional type, and by that I mean the multi-part singing, the chanting, the high singing, and the repeated last line. I took a chance on this CD and was practically in tears after about 30 seconds. A compelling voice, top notch recording techniques, and a real honoring of tradition. She could have been singing about kelp for all I knew but it was so moving that I had to hear it all. Some is spooky, some jazzy - all wonderful. This would be a great introduction for anyone to the different kinds and textures of Hawaiian music. Highly recommended...

I'm listening to this album right now as I write this. I can't tell you how good this recording is. It is the most Jazz influenced Hawaiian recording I've ever heard, and it blends them perfectly. Amy's voice is beautiful and the production values are strong without being over bearing. I'm telling you, this is a Must Have. This album will become your favorite after the first listening.

Thank you, Amy!
