CD Reviews

Great music, fab Hawaiian melodies

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 07/15/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A great collection of classic Hawaiian guitar tunes recorded by multi-instrumentalist Andrew Aiona Long (he shortened his Hawaiian name when he moved to California in the late '20s). Great stuff recorded when Iona was working in Hollywood on films such as "Rhythm Of The Islands" and "Hawaiian Buckaroo." This disc concentrates on Iona's sessions for the Columbia label; he also recorded extensively for several other companies before and after these mid-thirties dates. As with other Old Masters releases this has superior sound quality and informative liner notes... Highly recommended!"
