CD Reviews

" DRIVE ON is a timeless recording, featuring songs that strike a familiar chord while staying fresh as a cool ocean breeze... Filled with stellar musical performances capped by well-worn and spirited vocals that tell the story of what life is like on that lump of lava they inhabit, the CD fits like an old pair of jeans and wears as well. "

- Tom Irwin - Music Editor // Illinois Times

" This popular Maui duo has released a very good cd ... the first recorded effort to be released by Dorothy Betz and Les Adam ... is recommended listening.

I found "Drive On" by Dorothy Betz and Les Adam to be "soulful" ... and today with much of our commercial music sounding contrived ... that is refreshing.

Two songs co-written by Betz and Adam that I am sure you will find inspirational are "Peace In This World" and "The Day Ray Charles Died"

Some of Hawaii's finest musicians have contributed their talent to the cd as well ... the credits are listed in the cover ... so when you buy your copy ... be sure to check them out ...

In closing, it should be noted that "The Beach Bum's Tango" was recorded live at Mana'o Radio by Barry Shannon and mixed by Don Lopez. "
