"Bruddah Iz"
"Kamakawiwo`ole recorded three songs that night
... "Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World."
It's the last song -- a snapshot of the artist at his
gentle, poignant best -- that has come to redefine the way
the world listens to Hawai`i and to elevate Kamakawiwo`ole
to unprecedented success some five years after his
death."

"Perhaps most importantly, Led blends his
virtuosity with an infectious joy for performing, a generous

guitars weaving musical leis for the ears."
