"This is the original Pure Heart. The lead singer for this group left to pursue academics and is now replaced by a different, but almost equally vocally talented guy. I prefer the original Pure Heart. The melodies are flowing and the music is soothing. Ideal for listening to in traffic! You will find that the remakes of certain songs such as Bring Me Your Cup (peformed by UB40) is a Hawaiian rendition using ukuleles which give it a "local" flavor. Please give this cd a try. You will like it. I know I did and own two of their cds. And it doesn't hurt that they won album of the year (in Hawaii)for this album!"

Right on, this group! Too good.....shaka all da way!

Talent galore from a band aptly named "Pure Heart"

"OK I admit it...I am a music wacko. Over 1400 CD's from all musical styles. Heck, I still play my old LP's from the 60's. But all to often I find myself wanting a little of that Hawaii sound and so I drift over to the bookcases lining our living room and bend down until I get to the 'P's and yank out this recording. It is simply some of the finest music I have ever discovered in our travels around the world. I mourn the fact that these kids haven't played together in a long time. But I am heartened to read that Jake S.(the vastly amazing ukelele player on this CD) is still going strong on Oahu. Even if you have never been to Hawaii you simply have to have this recording if you are a devotee of outstanding musicianship. These guys can really play! They only made three records that I know of, only two of which Amazon.com appears to inventory. If you can find the Christmas recording you will want to own that one also. Absolute solid gold... I'm going back to Oahu just to hear Jake play the Uke again."
