STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - HAWAII CALLS : GREATEST HITS - WEBLEY EDWARDS WITH AL KEALOHA

[maggot]

Good morning audiophiles and welcome back to the Sunday edition of Stuck In The Vinyl Again. Today, June 11th is King Kamehameha, a publics holiday in the state of Hawaii honoring Kamehameha I, the conqueror and first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii who unified the kingdom of Hawaii. He was born approximately in 1758 and died either May 8th or May 15th, 1819. With him in mind, we find ourselves spinning this 1960 Capitol Records record,  Hawaii Calls: Greatest Hits by Webley Edwards With Al Kealoha Perry. The LP sees Hawaiian artists performing some of the state's most beloved songs.
