Price:
This fourth volume of our Dick McIntire series brings together another collection of the Harmony Hawaiians' well-known recordings plus thirteen more tracks that were not released to the record-buying public. These tracks came from radio transcriptions, which included original compositions and rearrangements of earlier pieces. Royal Hawaiian Hotel is an absolute 'must have' for all lovers of steel guitar music. They don't make 'em like this anymore and it's highly unlikely that they ever will again! Dick's vocals and seamless lapsteel sound and the Harmony Hawaiians' infectious rhythms and vocal artistry when re-vitalized by Cumquat's sonic restoration make this a fantastic album.
Hawaiian Love Call, 'Neath A Blue Hawaiian Moon, The Lullaby Of The Palms, Beneath A Banyan Tree, The Cockeyed Mayor Of Kaunakakai, The Sands Of Waikiki,
"Whenever I receive advance copies of new CD releases from Bruce Clarke at Cumquat Records, I can't wait to put them into my player and from the very first notes be transported back to 1936 - to that young, red-headed kid who was possessed by the hypnotising sound of a steel guitar in the hands of Dick McIntire. Now, thanks to this Cumquat series, we can really hear him as never before. Bruce Clarke has made it all new again. Listen to the presence of each instrument, the rhythm guitars and that driving bass that was there all the time but could not be heard on the record players of those days. They have never sounded this good before! Exciting??? You betcha!" Jerry Byrd, Steel Guitar Legend, Honolulu, Hawaii
"I think your latest work has surpassed even your terrific earlier CDs and I put you as Number One in the restoration field. The Dick McIntire CDs are simply the best transfers I have come across."Arthur Layfield - Hawaiian Music Collector and Historian - England
"What a treat. The new McIntires leave me speechless. I truly believe that Cumquat should win a Grammy: Best Restoration, Best Committment To Music - somethin'. Less than a year ago Steel Guitar Forumites were complainin' that there was no access to Dick McIntire recordings - wait'll they hear these!"Rick Aiello - Virginia USA
"I've been waiting 60 years for these ( Dick McIntire) recordings".Ron Ouellette; Hudson MA. USA
My girlfriend bought me the first four volumes of Dick McIntire as a gift last summer. All I can say is we listen to these CDs that Bruce Clarke did his engineering magic on, almost every morning for breakfast and for candle light dinners. When I hear Dick McIntire sing and play his steel, I feel I'm hanging out with a very good soul... Jesse Pearson, Ramona, California, USA
