"Ken Emerson is one of the most versatile musicians I've ever heard. He's one of the best Hawaiian steel guitar players in the world, but he's also a great blues player, has a good singing voice, and has written some really good tunes, as well. You'll hear everything on this CD from traditional Hawaiian music (featuring the fabulous Darlene Ahuna singing "Kalamaula" on one track), original tangos and "island rhythms" (with help from the Rowan Bros.) to heart-breakingly beautiful steel guitar melodies (the original, "Limahuli Dream", is an example) and classic blues ("Sitting on Top of the World" has England's Papa George contributing some vocals). Ken's flourishing touches on "The Third Man Theme" make me smile every time I hear it! I don't think you'll regret getting this CD."
