Country Comfort 2 Contemporary Hawaii LP Lot.
Country Comfort was of great importance in Hawaii's music. They started what many call contemporary island music - some call this the third wave of Hawaii's music. There was the music of the 1950s and 1960s called "Hapa Haole Music." This is considered the first wave. The music from this period sounded like swing or jazz music from the 1940s and often portrayed Hawai'i very romantically, as a perfect oasis. The music of the late 1960s and early 1970s called "Traditional Hawaiian Music," is considered the second wave. This music was often sung entirely in Hawaiian and represented cultural aspects of Hawai'i.
The third wave called "Contemporary Island Music," is from the 1970s to the present, with Country Comfort being the first to perform in this style. This wave of music was sung entirely in English and was closer in form to rock and roll than traditional Hawaiian styles. Yet there was something undeniably local about the sound.
Country Comfort was formed in the low-income country area of Waimanalo by three childhood friends: Billy Kaui, Jimmy Freudenberg and Chuck Lee. The three grew up together and lived only several blocks apart. They often hung out on the beach and they loved to surf. The three held backyard parties where they drank beer and played music for friends. While finishing high school they decided to form a band, since all three knew how to play the guitar. Lee played electric guitar; Kaui and Freudenberg played acoustic guitars. Soon they added two more friends from Waimanalo: Randy Lorenzo on bass and Eugene Matsumura on another acoustic guitar, and Country Comfort was born.
