Free Music Notes for Wonderful World
Free Music Review: gowyo
Hit: 3 Stars
I was anxious to purchase this CD, after reading about the technology, etc., used to produce this CD. I like the overall quality of the product, but did not appreciate the fact that the "Ahi wela" verse was left out of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star!", the verse that all of us keiki Hawaiians heard from our mothers, and memorized as soon as we could sing. Also, leaving "Somewhere over the rainbow" out of "Wonderful World" in my opinion was a huge mistake. But I have the original versions of these songs, so I feel ok about the final product, notwithstanding the comments mentioned above.Free Music Review: Disappointed
Hit: 3 Stars
I was distracted in the store and failed to read the part about the orchestra on the back cover so this is mostly my own fault, but I am disappointed with this.
The orchestra takes away from the beautiful simplicity of the music. There are quite a few times when a bass will be plucked while IZ is singing and it takes me right out of the moment. Also, the promotional video (as another reviewer stated) led me to believe that another version of White Sandy Beach was on this cd.
It's not terrible, but not up to the original versions I've heard elsewhere.
Free Music Review: It was GOOD but not WONDERFUL
Hit: 3 Stars
I have almost all of IZs albums and that's the reason I bough this one. It was then, that I realized that it was "arranged" with a big orchestra. I guess it is OK to listen to because his voice and the orchestrations are nice on their own, but I'm not crazy about it because I cannot think they necessarily go toghether well. It is probably just me, but I like his voice and his ukalele sound much better. It is still GOOD, don't get me wrong...but it's just my preference. But I loved the presentation...the cover is beautiful!Free Music Review: Big Bible
Hit: 3 Stars
I found the Bible to be too Large I can barely pick up and hold the bible I wanted a large print but I had no ideal it would be so large. in the description it should explain how large it is. This is not a Bible that you would cary to Church.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it is an... "Okay" CD. But my Title says it all.
