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
Customer Reviews
Over The Rainbow
This music is good for the soul. How sad that this great talent is no longer with us but what a legacy he left.
Brudda Iz CD
A really nice, upbeat CD. My first purchase of Iz music. His rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a real mellow delight.
Alone in IZ World
If 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.
