5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia, December 10, 1999

We really liked this CD! The music is crisp and arrangements are pleasing. The contents are familiar "hapa haole" songs translated into the Hawaiian language. "Hapa haole" songs had previously been written mostly in English as an introduction to island music. Most of them were played on the old "Hawaii Calls" type programs - from about the mid-40's. It is a pleasure to now have these recognizable songs in Hawaiian.

If ever there was a reason to preserve the Hawaiian language, this CD is it. From the playful Little Grass Shack to the haunting Aloha 'Oe this album just jumped to the top of the stack of my Hawaiian music CD's. My thanks to Mahlon for the introduction to Amy.

As a bonus, you can experience Willie K from a new, exciting perspective.

I found this disc while in Hawaii and was captivated. Amy is a wonderful vocalist and Willie K's arrangements are varying and interesting. Sure, it's not all traditional Hawaiian arrangement because many of the songs have a twist, from blues to southern rock styles, but they are all very cool to listen to. I love it!
