Alone in IZ World


Product Details


The artist behind Facing Future, the top-selling Hawaiian album of all time, the late Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole was possessed of a voice so sweet, so tender, and so lovely that it continues to deeply stir those who hear it long after he died. Lovingly assembled and notated by producer Jon de Mello, Alone in IZ World is comprised of both alternate versions of Kamakawio'ole's best-loved songs as well as tracks never before heard by the public. The latter category includes versions of "Hanohano No Na Cowboy," the playfully incomplete opening on "Mona Lisa," and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," on which IZ takes a rare turn at harmonizing with himself. In light of his premature passing, devastatingly beautiful alternate cuts of "Starting All Over Again" and "In This Life" are especially poignant. And "Over the Rainbow"--IZ's renditions were heard in Meet Joe Black and Finding Forrester--may never again sound so pure. --Paige La Grone

Product Reviews


(1 stars) - Dissappointed
Don't know why this guy was so lauded. I purchased two cd's of his and they are not inspirational or fun to listen to at all. Plus, he is so big that you can hear his labored breathing on some of his tracks. Tried listening twice to each cd - what a waste of money. And the songs are blah.......



(5 stars) - Almost Heaven
I have several IZ CDs -- I recommend Facing Future as his best. IZ died in 1997 at age 38 from respiratory distress and heart problems associated with a genetic illness that caused him to gain massive weight. His voice is Hawaiian. His syntax is Hawaiian. His thinking is Hawaiian. He plays the Ukelele well and has a voice from heaven. Many people first heard him when watching the closing scene of "Fifty Dates." Who can sing that heavenly they thought and became fans of Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole. I discovered IZ brousing about You Tube. Years ago I went to college in Maui, before IZ was born. His singing brings me back home. IZ said he was not afraid of death - as Hawaiians have one foot on both sides anyway. If you let him, he comes back now and then. Enjoy.



(5 stars) - IZ CD
Arrived in excellent NEW condition. Also arrived before the date promised. Thank you for great service.



(5 stars) - IZ - Can anthing more be said? Use when only the best will do!
This CD will take you over the rainbow! My feeble attempt to even tell you how good this CD is - will not even come close. You have to hear it yourself. Don't pass this CD up!

(3 stars) - only reason
I bought this cd because I loved the rendition of Over the Rainbow...love it...the rest of the music is not to my liking but did not know for sure if I would like any other songs...so I did purchase with that in mind but wanted the CD anyway..
