As Good As It Gets!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Willie K is a monster talent, and this is his greatest hits collection. A previous CD which is no longer in print contained almost all of these songs, and also the unbelievable Willie K rendition of Ho'onanea, sadly missing here.Still, if you've never listened to Willie, or to Hawaiian music, this CD should knock your socks off. You Ku'uipo is a beautiful sweet love song, I Will Dance For You will make you dance, My Moloka'i Woman has the damndest jammin' ukulele solo you'll ever hear. Good Morning is a fine reggae song to start your day, Katchi Katchi Music Makawao, about the Puerto Rican music of America's oldest cowboy town, will definitely move your feet. Spirit In The Wind shows off Willie's kickass rock lead guitar. Waterfall is a powerful expansion of Jimi Hendrix's May This Be Love. There just simply isn't a mediocre song on here. It's all unbelievably good.If you want to hear all Willie can do, try this CD. If you want to hear just his magnificent voice and acoustic guitar doing old Hawaiian songs, get the AWIHILIMA: REFLECTIONS CD."

"I originally fell in love with Willie K's music on a trip to Hawaii. I bought a couple of his CD's to bring back to Wyoming with me. I listened to them as I walked, worked, and played. He had the ability to take you back to the islands that I love dearly. His music has so much to tell you and he has so much talent. Anytime a musician reaches out to the young and the old, he is in my books a great musician."
New album?

"I have not listened to this album,at least not this version of these songs. I think this may be a compilation of previous albums. I have most of these songs and I love Uncle Willie's energy. 'You Kuuipo'was a big hit & is a great example of how Willie uses his voice. 'Good Morning' and 'North Shore Reggae Blues' are inspiring with their positive vibes. I love 'My Moloka'i Woman' and 'Katchi Katchi Makawao.' And 'Ho'okipa Surf Song' is one that plays in your head throughout the day. If you ever get a chance to see Willie K. in person, GO ! He can play guitar a la Hendrix and even lays down a mean Texas blues. This is an artist I listen to when I want a quick pick-me-up ! I recommend this music."
