Product Review

CBS Records will release a specially-produced soundtrack for the hit television series Hawaii Five-0 on Tuesday, October 4. Hawaii Five-0: Original Songs From The Television Series features brand new and previously unreleased tracks from some of music s most popular artists including Bob Dylan, Train, Goo Goo Dolls, The Swell Season, Switchfoot, Jimmy Cliff, Ziggy Marley and ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro that are available exclusively on this soundtrack.

Hawaii Five-0 producers listened to dozens of submitted tracks before choosing the ones best suited for this season s upcoming storylines. Hawaii Five-0: Original Songs From The Television Series stands apart from TV soundtracks which merely compile a selection of songs that were heard in a series previous episodes. Instead, as a result of this creative process, this collection features mostly brand-new and previously unreleased tracks that will be integrated into upcoming episodes this season.

Of particular note from this collection is a previously-unreleased Bob Dylan track, “Don’t Ever Take Yourself Away.” This island-flavored gem dates from recording sessions in the early 1980s, and was newly mixed and mastered for this soundtrack after being locked in the vaults for nearly 30 years.

As Hawaii Five-0 Executive Producer Peter Lenkov explains, “Music plays a big role in our show, and we are thrilled that so many great artists have provided us with exclusive tracks that can be so well integrated into our second season episodes. As a result, fans will be able to experience a soundtrack album that is truly representative of Hawaii Five-0.”

The soundtrack also includes the first commercial release of the “Hawaii Five-0 Main Title Theme” that was newly recorded for the series launch in 2010. Also featured is a suite of the show s score, “Book em Danno” produced and arranged by Brian Tyler and Keith Power, which they assembled specifically for this album. Songs featured in the show s first season -- “Closer” from Corinne Bailey Rae and Hawaiian standard “Hi Ilawe” from John Cruz are also included.

Hawaii Five-0 airs Monday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. The show is a contemporary take on the classic series about a new, elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the islands sun-drenched beaches. Nearly 12 million people watch Hawaii Five-0 on CBS each week, making it one of the most popular television shows in the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for Hawaii 5-0 Soundtrack, October 6, 2011

I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves Hawaii Five-0 - or to anyone who would like to listen to an eclectic mix of songs and enjoy the whole CD. We have all bought CDs that have one or two songs that we like and we never listen to the rest. This one is the kind that you will enjoy from start to finish and never hit that forward button.

Everyone knows and enjoys the iconic theme song from H5-0 that starts the CD; then you have a wonderful group of artists, from Goo Goo Dolls and Switchfoot to Bob Dylan and Ziggy Marley. Some of the songs are new to me, and I like them all. I enjoy listening to a group of songs that are not all in the same "mood". This goes from upbeat to peaceful and soothing, ending with "Book 'em Danno", a part of the soundtrack that will be very familiar to fans of the show. Very dramatic, and while you listen to it you can picture Steve in the middle of one of his many heroic feats that keep us on the edge of our seats every week...Read more

I'm a huge Train fan and I was excited to hear them on the soundtrack for one of my favorite TV shows! I also really enjoy the Goo Goo Dolls, The Swell Season, and Bob Dylan songs. I've been listening to this album on repeat and its a great group of awesome songs (especially for gloomy days).

Came across the soundtrack after hearing a song on the show and trying to figure out who it was (FYI it was the Switchfoot track which is on this CD)Decided there was enough great bands on this album to get the whole thing and glad i did. I am huge fan of The Swell Season so skipped straight to that track which was as heartbreaking as any song on their ONCE soundtrack. It was also a track that doesn't actually seem to be available on any their other albums. The Bob Dylan track is really fun and upbeat with a surprising reggae type vibe going on through it which fits in with the sunny relaxed vibe of the album. Naturally the Hawaii 5-0 theme is always recognizable and this new rendition stays true to the original. Great instrumental track from Jake Shimabukuro on his ukulele as well!

I really liked the soundtrack as a whole and cant wait to listen out for the songs in the upcoming episodes of my favorite show.
