"This album truly reflects Keali`i's talent for music. It is a mix of various songs recorded by him from all five of his albums. If you haven't listened to Hawaiian music, this CD is a good start for you. His Hawaiian language songs are wonderful. The slow songs are perfect for listening to at night or when you're in a bad mood; his voice is beautiful and very soothing. Not only is he a singer, he's a great chanter. Listen to "Lei Hana I Ka Makani Ualau Awa" when you need to get your energy up. He also redid "Fields of Gold" and "Road That Never Ends," and his renditions of them are beautiful. Being nominated for a Grammy award in the Hawaiian music album category and winning 24 Na Hoku Hanohano awards show how popular he is with everyone. If you go to Hawaii, you'll hear his music everywhere. I have, that is."
