Iz is wonderful-- he has several albums on Mountain Apple Records-- If you google his name (Isreal Kamakawiwool e ) you can find out all about him. I've been happily finding that a lot of music stores on the mainland are now carrying his CD's in the Hawaiian or the Internationa l sections. Aloha!

ya i dont think he was trying to re-do this song, him not knowing the words has nothing to do with it, he just put his own spin on things..... great song if u ask me. and totally different from the classic american song

i really don't think it mattters cuz the sound of the guitar is smooth, relaxing and beautiful. he truly connects with the song and the meaning behind it. yes, it would've been nice if he could've remeberd all the words, but nevertheless his version of the song is a wonderful one.

"I don't appreciate that the singer didn't know the words to this classic American song." Can you say "medley of two songs"? Can you say artistic slant to a beautiful but often overdone song that has now seen new light? I'm only a happa and I can truly appreciate Iz' interpretati o n .

I admire the melodic nature of this song, as well as the slack-key guitar style, but I don't appreciate that the singer didn't know the words to this classic American song.
