Well, the appeal here is obvious. An Italian release of steel guitarist Roy Wiggins instrumentals. I don't know who Johnny Hoes is, but the Dutch person "presented" at least two "Hawaiian" LPs featuring The Honolulu Strings and various singers. The usual European mix of Indonesian, Hawaiian, & European numbers. I like the cover. Love this German release! The Waikiki Party Band & The Hilo Singers take us to a "Hawaiian Beach Party." 24 songs arranged in groovy steel/vocal chorus medleys. Kind of "James Last-ish." Songs include "Hawaii Tattoo","Fern Am Strande Von Samoa","Vaya Con Dios" (found on a shockingly LARGE number of European-Hawaiian records...did they think this was actually a Polynesian song??), "Blume Von Hawaii", etc., etc. It's a party disc..:) |
