 Rest in Peace Bruddah IZ November 12, 2007
Another good album from IZ; maybe not quite as good as "Facing Future" but almost--I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
 Beautiful soothing August 29, 2007
Israel has done it again. His musicical collection, is done so masterfully. His voice so soothing and beautiful. I would highly recommend this collection.
WOW! August 15, 2007
This artist embodies all that is "Hawaiiana". Thoroughly outstanding, nostalgic; the best overall Hawaiian entertainer, bar none.
It's IZ, what more needs to be said? May 12, 2007
Since I am not from Hawaii I don't profess to identify with the political and cultural aspects of IZ's music, so all I can really say is that I find IZ's music just plain nice to listen to, especially when its just him and his uke. Need to relax, need to kick back and drift away to the Islands then this will do it for you. Get rid of the pills and pick up a dose of IZ to calm the tensions of the day. Of course you'll have to resist to go out and purchase a one way ticket to Hawaii.....or will you?
So long, Beethoven! October 23, 2006

A classical music buff, & up until August had never heard of IZ. In an airport in Botswana, awaiting a plane to Johannesburg (delayed for several hours), I observed a distinguished-looking man, sitting completely relaxed, with a smile on his face, listing to his iPod. Finally, out of boredom I commented about how un-stressed he seemed to be; he promptly passed over his earphones. WOW! It was Iz singing "Over the Rainbow" (a song I am completely and thoroughly sick of!) Of course, his version was familiar and for the first time in years, I loved the song. Unfortunately, I then forgot the artist's name. Thank goodness it came back to me.
Bought this CD at probably the last Tower Music Store in the nation, along with 15 others (all classical) and can't stop playing it. Right now I'm in the process of buying this album for a friend, along with all the rest of his collection.
So long, Beethoven! (Not really, but this is a whole new wonderful addition to my listening life.) I think IZ belongs in every top-notch music portfolio.
