Music reviews of GABBY

Music Review: No ka oi! One of THE most important Hawaiian albums ever
Rating: 5 Stars

In the early 70's, Hawaiian records were powerful. Not only was the impact felt in Hawai'i, but among many transplanted Hawaiians who would come home and bring this back to California, Oregon, or Washington. Gabby had already had years of recordings behind him when this album was released in 1971 (in fact the album begins with a brief snippet of his rendition of "Hi'ilawe" taken off of a 78 rpm recording he did in the 40's). While musicians in other genres would have been comfortable in his legacy, Gabby was far from over. Like many of his albums from the 70's, he unites sons and friends for an hour of great music. The playing on this is top notch, and while Pahinui wasn't the perfect singer, he sang like a bluesman and you can feel it in "Hame Pila". It was this version of "Hi'ilawe" that made it a mandatory part of every hula halau, beer party, and baby shower in the 70's. Even as I think of how "Hi'ilawe" segues into "Aloha 'Oe", where Pahinui plays one of the most mournful slide guitar solos ever heard, it makes me want to cry. This is as beautiful as it gets, and there are only two words you can say once he reaches those final notes at the end: hana hou! Known by many simply as "The Brown Album".
