How a uke should sound!!!.......2007-05-13

I have been a fan of the ukulele since growing up in Hawaii and hearing some really good players. IZ of course is a favorite with his ability to make a few clear notes have so much feeling. Troy in this CD captures some really great uke playing and has the ability to have a lot of flourish without going over the top(easy to do I guess). There is good feeling with some very complex playing. I would highly recommend this to someone new to the uke as well as those who have loved it for many years.

Kaua'i Homecoming.......2000-05-12

I had the good fortune on two occassions to listen to Doug and Sandy play live at Surt's in Haena just north of Hanalei. Sandy's commentary regarding the history of Ki Ho'alu (Slack Key), their depth of relationship with the old masters and her support on Ukelele of Doug's "McMastery" of the Guitar was incredible. Of course only amplified by the ambiance of Surt's setting on the Bay, the culinary excellance of Executive Chef Randy and the most gorgeous moonscapes on the most glorious island in all of God's creation.

They are a personable and delightful couple and I play their music incessantly as well as having developed a consuming fetish for the musical form.

Even here just north of rainy Seattle, a glass of good wine and a comfortable chair transports me back to Haena and Hanalei, and the property we are looking for there. You would do well to have a little peace and a lot of their music in your life.

Music as beautifull as the nature of Hawaii.......2000-04-13

Kauai homecoming is a great cd. It has a high energy. When you are in a bad mood: listen to Kauai Homecoming. The energy and love from the music will change your mood in a good direction almost instantly. Kauai is certenly one of the most beautifull islands of the world. In the music from Doug and Sandy you can hear that they are living on this paradise island. The magic energy from the island is in the music. Doug plays lovely slack key guitar. It is so full of love for nature and all humans. It is full peacefull feelings . I listen almost everyday to kauai homecoming and everytime i play the cd i hear new things. I live in The Netherlands wich is a long distance from Kauai but all my friends overhere are very very enthousiastic about Kauai Homecoming. None of them have been on Kauai but they all feel the peace in the music. The say that this music helps them to relax and enjoy live. This CD is a paradise in a world full of stress.

Spirited Away.......2005-07-04

This CD is lotsa fun and way cool with excellent music. I first saw the Moonlighters at a teeny-tiny club in Brooklyn, then bought the CD. Although I worried the CD might not live up to the AMAZING QUALITY of the live perf, lo! The CD is AMAZING, too.

Be prepared for kicky tunes with Hawaiian slide guitar and tight female harmonies. (Oops - the harmonies are tight, not the women who sing them! In fact if you see the Moonlighters in concert you'll find all four performers PERKY and GROOVY.)

Some classic songs, like "42nd Street", have transitioned nicely to Hawaiian swing. Others are dark and funky. I play the CD so much it's driving my boyfriend crazy. "Enough with the slide guitar!" he rants. So now we just play it in the morning before work - it works better than coffee.

If you like snappy, energetic tunes with rather superb musicianship, this album has YOUR NAME written on. This is the kind of small, indie music product that puts the blockbuster industry to shame, shame, shame.

Me, Myself, and I.......2002-05-02

I bought this album on the strength of this really cool Hawaiian track with slack key guitar called, Me, Myself, and I. Then, realized that it wasn't on this album. Oh well.

It's a good enough album though.

a different take on acoustic hawaiian music.......2000-08-04

hawaiian steel guitar on top of a ukelele band with andrew sister's/dan hick's style retro female harmonized vocals throughout. well done. the record keeps the lazy, island feel going throughout. great dinner party music or hot summer activity music. excellent, considering i've never heard of these guys before. it does for hawaiian music what "pink martini" does for european lounge dinner music. pink martini is a better cd, but i'm quibbling.
