5.0 out of 5 stars Sounds of Paradise, June 4, 2008

By 

Floyd B. (Madison, Wisconsin (Mad town!)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Saddle (Audio CD)

I've been to all of the Hawaiian Islands and have become familar with much of the native talent. All the music of the islands are a blessing and their native talent outstanding. But Ledward Kaapana is one of my favorite. I don't hesitate to buy any of his music wherever I can find it while visiting the islands. Of course, in this case it's a bonus, because I get Bob Brozman along with him.

I've attended many concerts in Hawaii listening to most of the best talent that lives there. There are never any disappointments and I love slack key music. This type of music developed by the locals over the years has grown into a unique sound that is never matched any where away from the islands.

I have an enormous collection of music of all sorts, but this sound of the Hawaiian Islands ranks as some of my most favorite, as does the wonderful people of these islands. The sounds are so relaxing and so enjoyable that it's hard to compare it to anything else. You'll just have to sample this unique sound yourself, or better yet to get obsorved in the mood, go to Hawaii and live it, a sound and a feeling that will stay with you a lifetime. Thankyou Ledward for much wonderful music you have provided us.

I first met Bob Brozman, and his steel guitar work, years ago playing in the "Cheap Suit Serenaders". It was there I learned of his expert command of Hawaiian music and "In the Saddle" lives up to his stunning talent. This cd is an absolute joy to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Contemporary Slack Key, January 11, 2007

I live part-time in Maui and have been researching Hawaiian slack key musicians for over 15 years. Kaapana and Brozman, in my opinion, are in the same league as Gabby Pahinui: classical but interpreted for contemporary times, angelic masculine voices, and guitar wizards.
