Skies of Blue
Released February 2008. Daniel Ho has a brand new CD out in stores; but if you're looking for something "local" or "hawaiian", this is not the CD. It's an acoustic twist on some of Daniel Ho's favorite songs, but also done with a Japanese audience in mind...

Take some of Top 40 of the pasts great songs. Big Yellow Taxi. Hotel California. Songs that show my age because I know the lyrics and can sing along like Arthur's Theme, Every Breath You Take, Drift Away and Take My Breath Away. These are the kind of songs you'll find in this recording.

I was actually surprised when I listened because I was expecting to find versions of these favorite songs of mine that were subpar. Daniel actually does a good job with this recording. He takes these songs and makes acoustic guitar versions that are good enough to put into a CD player during a cocktail party, while cleaning house, while driving long distances.

His takes on Arthur's Theme and Take My Breath Away were refreshing, because you aren't used to hearing these songs in that matter.

It's a nice CD.....
