(5 out of 5 stars)

""Duke Kahanamoku Presents A Beachboy Party" is a reissue of a rare 1963 album. This live set features Duke Kahanamoku and a host of legendary beachboys--Chick Daniels, Abraham "Fat" Kala, Splash Lyons and others--singing, strumming and no doubt drinking under a banyan at the Outrigger Canoe Club. What the music lacks in polish, it makes up for in sheer unadulterated fun. If you've ever wondered what old-timers meant by "the magic of Waikiki," it's right here on this album. Someone give a copy to the HVB. It was always the guys in the trenches-- the beachboys, the tour guides-- who made Hawai'i a party for everyone. A must for any Hawaiian music collection!" --selected by Brickwood Galuteria, co-host of "The Aloha Morning Show," Hawaiian 105 KINE"
