This album was released in 1978 and is the third in Kkua Records' "Home Grown" series, which compiles the works of artists who were active in Hawaii in the 1970s. From soft rock with acoustic guitars and beautiful choruses to elegant hula, this is one of the most current albums in the series, featuring organic numbers with a consistent fresh air. A6 is a gem of a mellow tune by Marvin Franklin with Kimo and the Guys, with wet guitars and adult vocals gently dancing over groovy percussion rhythms and bass lines, while A7 is a mild tune reminiscent of Mackey Feary. B3, a mellow AOR tune by Miles Lee and the Hawaiian Electric Band, has a melancholic melody of guitar and electric piano with cool synth pads.
