5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Uke lovers everywhere!, July 4, 2003

This was the first of many uke-related cd's I have bought, and it still stands as the best. A new uke player, I was amazed that the little 4-stringed "hawaiian guiter" could perform such varied musical styles-from jazz to flamenco; from love songs to humor. When do we get "Legends 2"?

5.0 out of 5 stars From a ukulele player:, September 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Legends of Ukulele (Audio CD)

Don't listen to the guy from Tennessee. This is a fantastic compilation. Any ukulele player, Hawaiian or otherwise, will tell you that most of the musicians on this CD are the ukulele greats. Ohta-san, Cliff Edwards, Roy Smeck, Lyle Ritz, George Formby and others show what can be done on the tiny instrument that many consider a toy. They show us what a great instrument the uke really is. Cliff Edwards, known as Ukulele Ike, plays and sings with his wonderful voice. Some may know him better as the voice of Jiminy Cricket. Tiny Tim's rendition of Tiptoe through the Tulips is fully understood when one listens to the original 1929 falsetto version of the song by Nick Lucas. (Listen to it here on Amazon.com.) Oh... and there are plenty of Hawaiians on this CD. I recommend it highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of fun, December 12, 1998

There really isn't a bad track on the CD. "Making Love Ukulele Style" is one of the best. It's a very good introduction to the ukulele. I only wish I could find more like it.
