Average Rating: Rating: - How does one describe music as magical as this? I remember the first time I saw the movie "Finding Forrester." During the closing credits I heard this wonderful voice singing a medley of "What A Wonderful World" and "Over The Rainbow." It was a magical combination that sent me right to the nearest record store to find out who that voice belonged to and, if possible, to obtain a copy of that song. The clerk at the record store knew just who I was talking about and produced of a copy of "Facing Future" for me. Upon first listen I felt like my soul had become light as a feather and was riding the breezes over some tropical paradice. Sadly I soon discovered that "IZ" had passed away prior to my discovering him. I can only imagine that his soul is now light as a feather rides the cool breezes over his natice Hawaii. This album is for that moments when you want something different to take you away from the cares of the day, if only for a while. Check it out! Rating: - Relax - Hawaiian Style If I'm under stress or upset, I just pop in Israel's CD, Facing Future. I'm relaxed within seconds. The sound of his soothing voice sends me straight back to the islands. I can hear the ocean and feel the tradewinds on my face. That's what Iz's music will do to you! Rating: - An Album As Beautiful As A Rainbow I don't know that this delightful CD needs another review but I'll do one anyway. From what I perceive to be traditional Hawaiian music new to me to songs I already know, this album is as soothing as an ocean breeze. Often accompanied by only a ukulele, Israel Kamakawiwo 'ole's gentle singing is solace for the soul. I play the CD in the mornings and the music runs through my head the rest of the day. I once thought that nobody but Judy Garland should be allowed to sing "Over The Rainbow." This singer's rendition however, of this standard is so different but yet so fine. It is sad that such a talented performer left this planet far too early. We can only hope that he is somewhere over the rainbow about which he sang so beautifully.
