at the risk of being stoned, i'd have to include the chris isaak song "wicked game." i guess it's the steel guitar, duh. but that song could be put onto a blue hawaiians album and you'd never skip a beat. j$

A better choice is his "Baja Sessions." His girlfriend moved out while he was out on tour & left him a "Dear Chris" letter; So he grabs his surfboard, some friends & their guitars & they head to Baja. When they came back they cut an album of the songs they played down there, including "Yellow Bird" (also done by Arthur Lyman) & "Sweet Leilani."

yah i gots that one too, i just thought the guitar twang of the above was pretty hawiiaan. baja sessions is good beachy stuff. and the liner notes have plenty vintage stuff images for us junkies...
