Playlist - January 9, 2014

Today's show was a mix of old (from only-on-vinyl recordings) to new (debut of the new group, Palena`ole), and lots of great stuff in between!

Click on highlighted song titles for details (and free sound clips) of new releases. All CDs which are still in print, can be purchased at mele.com.

"Aloha Kaua`i" brings you the music of Hawai`i -- from vintage to new -- from my personal library of hundreds of vinyl albums, audio cassettes and CDs. On the playlist below, vinyl and cassette recordings are noted in italics.
