Free Music Review: IZ Introduction
Hit: 5 Stars
This was the first IZ CD I purchased, and I eventually purchased all of his music, including some of his earlier works with the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau. However, I think his solo work really represents and evolution of Hawaiian music. His music maintained the integrity and feel of the traditional Hawaiian genre, while adding a more contemporary sound to it all. All of his CD's contain of mix of traditional, reggae, and even some R&B...essentially something for everyone to enjoy. I would recommend this, and all of his other albums to anyone.Free Music Review: Another great IZ CD
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD contains some of IZ's prettiest renditions. His cover of Wind beneath my wings, coupled with a chant and hawaiian language song of similar viewpoint is aweome. As they say in the Islands, it is a chicken-skin song. The hawaiian language song Kaleohano really showcases his voice. The title song is another song of independance, where through editing his elder brother Skippy's voice is added to the song. As always, Iz can communicate his Aloha like no other. It is a sine qa non of any Hawaiian music collection.Free Music Review: I LOVE this CD

Another group of songs by Bruddah Iz that makes you smile and stirs your soul. My favorite cut, Kamalani, still brings me to tears every time I listen to it. The entire CD is full of typical Israel music that speaks of human love and longing, as well as historical and present-day Hawaiian cultural issues. Never heavy-handed, but very informative. There's a VHS movie about Israel called Island Music Island Hearts, The Man and His Music. If you love his music you have to find this video. ENDFree Music Review: IZ Introduction

This CD was the first I purchased of IZ. I was never really a fan of traditional Hawaiian music until I heard this album. To me, IZ seemed to represent an evolution of the traditional genre by developing a style that maintained the feel and integrity of the music, but merging it with a contemporary sound. I would recommend this CD, and any of his other albums. All of them have an equal balance of traditional Hawaiian, Reggae, and even some R&B.Free Music Review: "E ala E"

This CD of music and singing of IZ, a very famous Hawaiian singer is priceless. I now own two others, but this is still my favorite (maybe because it was my first exposure to this artist.) His voice is so soothing, so spiritual, so uplifting. It makes you feel better if you are stressed. Unfortunately, he is deceased (at a young age), and we have only his recordings to enjoy.
