1 star emerson CD is a hodge podge
this record did not have a clear theme> todd rundgren sang one harmony vocal on Ulupalakua and it could have been anyone doing it. Darlene Ahuna was awesome but her cut sounded like Darlene with Ken. Roselani with Dave Jenkins was overproduced and sounded more like a newgrass cut than Hawaiian. Ken's guitar was so buried in the mix that you could not even hear it. Perfection sounded not the least bit Hawaiian or tango or blues. The third man theme was dreadful and so out of place. Kahili Blues was a very basic blues song. Wahine Ilikea was a good cut and he might have come up with a decent recording had he done more like this. Sitting on top of the world sounded like it was done in someones garage and was sloppy and oh so out of tune too. KaMele nahenahe o Ke Kai was Cindy's tune and very good however Ken played over her so much that you could not get much of a sense of dynamics.Tropico Pacifico has these abrubt endings on each phrase that as a listener sounded rough and ragged to me.The best cut on the record is Limahuli Dream. I heard Limahuli dream on the musak on the Hawaiian airline flights to the mainland. I was stoked because I wrote the song by myself and named it too. Very disturbing to me as the writer that Mr. Emerson says he was also a writer of the tune. People say its haunting and beautiful and he plays some decent guitar behind my slack key playing and the melody I wrote. too bad he cant come up with his own material. I should know I played in a duo with him for over 10 years and yet was not even mentioned on the laboriously long and boring liner notes. He did not however fail to mention every single music contact he has ever had. As if the listener even wants to read about all of the folks he knows and much of it is not even true. Just for the record. I know for a fact that Ken Emerson has never toured or recorded with Taj Mahal and yet he says he has. Yes there was lots of name dropping however It was not enough to convince me the record was all that great.
