Beautiful songs; perfect voice!
I love the restful, relaxing sound of Hawaiian music, so this CD is a perfect one for anyone who enjoys that type of music too. It has a lot of songs on it (15 in all) and plays for around 45 minutes. Best of all is IZ's incredibly beautiful voice on these recordings. It is so pure and perfectly on key that it makes you stop to listen to how remarkable it is.

Beautiful
This man had one of the most Beautiful voices that I have ever heard, to we had to lose him at such a early age. Like most CD's there is a song or two that I really don't care for, but for the most of the CD it is well worth it. Very Nice back ground music while in the car chatting with you spouse or others..

Wonderful sounds!
Iz has a fantastic voice and he puts his emotions into his songs. Wonderful CD! I wonder if he is related to the Hawaiian royalty. They were his size.

Fzcing Future
Great Hawaiian music, in combination of traditional and contemporary styles. Not twangy or 'Tiny Bubbles'. Iz is a great singer.

Another Great IZ CD
IZ was on the best performers of all time in Hawaii. His heartfelt songs, especially about Hawaii and it's culture and ancestry are moving.
