"In all, with very few exceptions, Aloha Got Soul offers a fascinating glimpse into a criminally under-documented and under-appreciated music scene rich with talent and possibility. As listeners, we should be eternally grateful for people like Roger Bong and the folks at Strut for making these previously obscure recordings available for broader consumption and, more than anything, appreciation. Aloha Got Soul, both the album and blog, are a welcome addition to the ever-expanding musical universe of our not-too-distant past".
