 A treat for the ears Apr 25, 2000
By John Moulis
I first heard this album as a 13 year old in 1972. It was playing over the speakers in a record store and I pretended to look at record covers on the racks so I could hear the whole thing. It was captivating music. Before the last track finished I had bought the album and then played it over and over at home. When I visited my cousins on the north coast they told me about the movie (which to this day I have never seen). This album still sounds as fresh and vibrant today as it did back in the 1970s. It may be a movie soundtrack but it stands alone as a master work with or without the movie. Picking out the best track is difficult but High In the Middle probably wins by a nose. Some of the best steel guitar playing ever committed to record can be heard on Bears Country, a stunning instrumental track which evokes lazy summer days at the beach. The Blue Of Your Backdrop, Don't Let Your Goodbye Stand, Pipeline Sequence the list goes on. It is truly an aural treat and a fine example of the west coast sound in its earliest and purest form. Do yourself a favor and buy this album. It is one of rock music's last undiscovered gems.

STOKED! May 02, 2000
I grew up in Hawaii in the '70s, and first saw "Five Summer Stories" in the old Haleiwa surf theatre on the North Shore of Oahu. I bought this CD a few years ago, and I was astonished and delighted to re-discover how good Honk actually was. Too bad Honk will remain unheard by most people. They were an excellent band, exquisitely capturing the essence of laid-back, California-Hawaii surf culture of the '70s. It's one of those mysterires how such an excellent, original band could remain so obscure to this day. Their arrangements and harmonies, as well as musicianship, on cuts like "Blue of Your Backdrop" and "Don't Let Your Goodbye Stand" are timeless. The instrumentals "Lopez" and "Pipeline Sequence" are masterful-- as good as anything else produced in that era. "Pipeline Sequence" received a lot of airplay in Hawaii in those days, and is still THE surf instrumental for us Hawaii surfers who came of age back then. Honk's music is light-years better than the frenetic, punked-out surf video music of today. So get this CD, relax, and remember (or imagine) what it was like to paddle out to Sunset Beach on a huge west swell, with no leash and a single fin, and Barry Kanaiaupuni, Jeff Hakman, and Gerry Lopez calling the shots out there!

HONK ON CD!!!!!!!! Aug 12, 2000
For those of you who haven't had the privelage of toting around this Honk record album (you know, vinyl?) for the past 25 years, you are very lucky to have the opportunity to purchase it in CD. I grew up on Maui and was a "surfer gal", playing my Honk album after long days at the beach, re-visualizing the beauty of the waves, sun and sand while listening to the articulate instrumentals and vocals on this album. In this day of the regeneration of historical american folk tunes, I truly believe Honk-Five Summer Stories deserves a place in our musical history for the melodic songs, and calming instumentals which represent a brief, yet heartfelt era. Anyone who enjoys music as a "getaway", this one will take you where you want to go....

Doesn't get any better May 07, 1999
The vocals, the lyrics, the music, the mood...Honk is the best of the best. My wish is that the other Honk lp's would be released on CD. I never get tired of listening or seeing Honk...and I have been doing it since the 70's...

Have listened to this for 25 years!!!! Cassette was stolen Mar 29, 1999
As the other reviews stated, this is truly one of the great surf sounds. But you can get the movie on video: Toes on the Nose in Laguna Beach carries it in stock. My husband and I made this our standard sound when we drove up the coast 25 1/2 years ago
