Hawaiian standards sung in English, island takes on country & western, plus a reggoid cover of a John Lennon song, would seem to forecast a tropical depression; but this disc is brilliant, its boundary-busting all enhancement and no dilution. The cowboy version of the Fijian classic Isa Lei is a natural-born transformation, Do You Love Me, a duet with Dwight Yoakam, is even stronger, and if Youssou N'Dour can diddle with mainstream rock, why shouldn't these Hawaiian jalis — sons of slack key guitar pioneer Gabby Pops Pahinui — spread their toes in the grass a little by laying a heartfelt reggae consciousness on a poignant version of Lennon's Jealous Guy?
