Marty Robbins' "Hawaii's Calling Me" is an absolute delight to listen to! Marty's voice floats dreamily throughout the whole CD, flowing so effortlessly that you can almost hear the rolling surf, the cry of the seagulls, and feel the gentle ocean breeze. In my opinion, the best tracks on this CD are "Blue Sand," "Beyond the Reef," "Echo Island," and "Hawaii's Calling Me." This is the perfect CD to put your mind at ease and to take you to another world. This is a must have CD for any music lover! This is a true gem! Let Marty take you away to the shores of Hawaii!

This is one of the best albums Marty Robbins ever recorded.

He goes from country to Hawaiian with ease on such beautiful songs such as "Drowsy Waters", "Isle of Golden Dreams" and "Lovely Hula Hands".

This is a combination of two albums by Marty recorded in the 50's and 60's.

Backed by the great Jerry Byrd on steel guitar for the second album ,Marty hits all the high notes imaginable and it makes you feel like you are right there on the beach on some exotic Pacific Island.

This is a must buy for all Marty Robbins fans.

This CD has the Marty Robbins Hawaiian recordings from 1954 through 1963. I am glad that the 1954 version of "Isle of Golden Dreams" was included since it is much better than the 1957 recording. Bear Family can take great pride in providing the U.S. with excellent products!

The music is 4 or 5 star; if you like Marty Robbins, you'll like the CD. This disc will not, however, play on a computer and cannot be ripped. I received one replacement from the seller and another from Bear Family, and all three had the same problem. Since this hasn't been an issue with my other 3,000 or 4,000 CDs that I've ripped, I assume the problem is not the CD drive in my computer (a fairly new HP CD/DVD burner). The CD does, however, play fine in my regular Sony audio CD player.

I used to have this album many years ago and lost it. What a treat to be able to listen to these great songs again!

I ORDERED 1 CD, BUT YOU SENT ME TWO; MAYBE BECAUSE I LIKE THIS CD VERY MUCH, THAT I DIDN'T COMPLAIN AND PAID THE EXTRA ONE, ANYWAY...

I got a LP "Hawaii's calling Me" from my uncle as as a 14 year old boy, and even I was only 14 year, I loved this music. Marty Robbins was normally a country & western singer, but I think he sung the hawaian style very good. Somebody stole my LP, and I have been looking around for many years trying to find a LP or a CD with this music. Finally I found it, and on the CD is all the songs from the two hawaian music LP's Marty Robbins recorded.

I have always loved Marty Robbins' country music but he outdoes himself with this Hawaiian music!
