From amazon.com:
There's a smart balance of traditional Hawaiiana and contemporary tunes on this CD. There's heart-tugging warmth along with unexpected chuckles. The end result is a candid, honest reinforcement of his vocal breadth.

I'm probably the only person on earth who hates the movie the "Wizard of Oz" and who hates "Somewhere over the Rainbow." Guess it's because the movie scared the bejeezus out of me when I was a kid. BUT - and it's a big BUT --- I do like the version by IZ ... whole different ballgame. Great song -- and I like it ... I really do.
