The third wave of Hawaiian music is often called "Contemporary Island Music," and 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 Waim?nalo 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 Waim?nalo: Randy Lorenzo on bass and Eugene Matsumura on another acoustic guitar, and Country Comfort was born.
They quickly became the house band at a restaurant called The Sty in Niu Valley Shopping Center. They became a popular act and The Sty was often packed with people listening to Country Comfort. Through popular word of mouth, producer Irv Pinensky signed the band to his record label, Trim/Mele Records. Famous local disc jockey and concert promoter Tom Moffatt became Country Comfort's band manager. They soon recorded and released their debut album "We Are the Children" in 1974.
The album's easy-to-listen-to sound struck a chord with high school and college-age students, who embraced the songs about a modern Hawai'i and its problems. The album produced the hits "Sun Lite, Moon Lite," "We Are the Children" and the group's now classic signature song "Waimanalo Blues." All three songs still get played on the radio to this day, and the majority of the album was written by composer and native Hawaiian activist Liko Martin. The album was a big hit, selling an estimated 20,000 copies - incredibly large numbers for a locally made album. These are the 1st two albums.
