Seventeen beautiful songs transcribed for guitar and ukulele exactly as played by IZ including his breathtaking version of "Over the Rainbow" as heard on the soundtracks to Finding Forester, 30 First Dates, and "ER." There are also four pages of color photos featuring Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole, the Hawaiian singer with an unparalleled voice. This folio includes: Hawai'i '78 * White Sandy Beach * 'Opae E * Kaleohano * Na Ka Pueo * Hi'ilawe * N Dis Life (In This Life) * Ka Pua U'i * Kuhio Bay * Henehene Kou 'Aka * Panini Puakea * Wind Beneath My Wings/He Hawai'i Au * Starting All Over Again * Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World * Kamalani.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - IZ songbook
If you never listened to IZ then you should. He was the best Hawawii had. This book contains alot of good songs. The problem is alot of them are written in Hawaian so dont expect to play and sing them if you dont listen to the music. It is a shame that the best Blues,Rock,PoP and yes Hawaian music always come after the passing of the singer. Give this a shot. Music is music for all and in Hawaii IZ was the best.
Rating: - Learn to play like IZ
Transcriptions of Iz's most popular tunes from several of his albums. I'll never sound like him, but it's good to see what he was doing and try to imitate it. Beautifully illustrated.
Rating: - Perfect Ukulele Practice Material
I just happen to love the music of Izzy. When you buy this sheet music book to go with your Izzy cd's, that's the perfect combination to start practicing your ukulele or guitar. Don't forget to buy your cd's. They don't come with the book. This is the book only.
I like the different pieces that call for acoustic guitar 1 or 2 and also for 1 or 2 ukuleles.
Rating: - IZ Lover's "In this Life"
Any IZ fan (especially those Ukulele players) should own this book. With the 10th anniversary of his passing his popularity is growing and having this songbook with continue to keep him near you (I just I had my ukulele strung with a low 'g').
Rating: - A SMALL TREASURE
INSPIRED BY BROTHER IZ'S MUSIC, A FELLOW MUSICIAN IS QUITE HAMPERED WHEN THE SONGS ARE IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE DOMINATED BY THE LETTER "K"!
THE MUSIC BOOK IS A TREASURE FOR THOSE OF US WHO ATTEMPT TO HONOR BRO. IZ BY IMITATION. THE ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT ONLY 12 SONGS ARE INCLUDED.
WITH THE RESURGENCE OF POPULARITY, PUBLISHING MORE (OR ALL) OF HIS SONGS MAY BE A VIABLE OPTION.
