I did not expect much listening to this, however, this is growing on me! And believe me, there are some winners on this comp.! The opening song, " There's No Place like Hawaii" sure sets the tone that you are in for one fun time! I can just see King Kukulele and his Friki Tikis covering this for their next C.D. (m...mmm, are you listening King)! "No Huhu" is just hilarious, and "Lahainaluna" sure warms this east coaster up! Sonny Nicnolas sounds like a young Burl Ives on "Keep Your Eyes On The Hands" and the smooth jazz feel of "My Little Grass Shack" is a nice twist (of lime) on this classic! Not everything works. The missteps of "Waikiki" by Pua Almeida is too saccharine (like a performance on Lawrence Welk) :roll: and the singing on "The Wedding Song" is way over the top. But, the gems surely outweigh the rocks! So what are you waiting for? The file is huge, but worth it! Nice job, Traitor V.! 8) Cheers! :drink:
