Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0761268590725 Format: Enhanced Label: Mountain Apple Company Manufacturer: Mountain Apple Company MPN: 5907 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Mountain Apple Company Release Date: September 25, 2001 Studio: Mountain Apple Company Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The artist behind Facing Future, the top-selling Hawaiian album of all time, the late Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole was possessed of a voice so sweet, so tender, and so lovely that it continues to deeply stir those who hear it long after he died. Lovingly assembled and notated by producer Jon de Mello, Alone in IZ World is comprised of both alternate versions of Kamakawio'ole's best-loved songs as well as tracks never before heard by the public. The latter category includes versions of "Hanohano No Na Cowboy," the playfully incomplete opening on "Mona Lisa," and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," on which IZ takes a rare turn at harmonizing with himself. In light of his premature passing, devastatingly beautiful alternate cuts of "Starting All Over Again" and "In This Life" are especially poignant. And "Over the Rainbow"--IZ's renditions were heard in Meet Joe Black and Finding Forrester--may never again sound so pure. --Paige La Grone Album Description: new songs * enhanced arrangements * unplugged performances * on a cd-rom featuring photo gallery, bio, national and local press coverage, IZ sightings, screen saver and catalog Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Over The RainbowThis music is good for the soul. How sad that this great talent is no longer with us but what a legacy he left. Rating:  - Brudda Iz CDA really nice, upbeat CD. My first purchase of Iz music. His rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a real mellow delight. Rating:  - Alone in IZ WorldIf the music doesn't put love into your heart, then maybe this gentle giant can make you only wish like he did. This is by far, on of his best collections ever. I loved it and listen to each and every day. Sure am going to miss this man. Rating: - Sweet Soul of Hawaii"Over the Rainbow" is worth the price of the album because it is simply priceless. I smiled in tears when I first heard it in Europe on the Connery film "Finding Forrester". The big teddy bear on his "uke" reaching the world in its more urgent time of need ...with a remake, ha! Your sweet soul shines from heaven Izzy, like the child's gift of pure innocence that became the eastern star. Ke Aloha ai no hoana ke akua i, kana hele hele. Meke aloha pumehana "ipo". -Pila Rating: - IZ WorldI'm new to the world of IZ. His music is wonderful and gives you a taste of Hawaiian culture that leaves you wanting more. |
