Tender Leaf

A hidden Hawaiian treasure, Tender Leaf was not known generally because the group was not a professional group and this album was released by themselves locally under their own label, Tender Leaf Records in 1982. It seemed to be around 1995 that a Japanese music writer brought this album into Japan and wrote a recommended review, thus some DJ started to play this vinyl at the club steadily. I admit this album is surely one of the most comfortable Hawaiian albums full of free-soul feeling.
