The other bonus track, though, A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes, I can't get past the opening bars. I'm just aurally offended by the Sail On Sailor riff that was ripped off to open it. Just a personal thing…
I know what you mean, but what Brian does with this during the song's coda is so nice, I forgive the SOS steal. The fact that this is a Disney album somewhat obscures the fact that "Baby Mine", "Stay Awake" and "Peace On Earth" are among Brian's most beautiful arrangements and performances - real heirs to tracks like "We'll Run Away", "Don't Talk" and "Wonderful". The rest I fully expect to hear playing over loud speakers in Downtown Disney or in the theme park gift shops the next time I visit Disney World. In fact, "Heigh Ho" nails the sound of typical Disney "dark ride" theme music, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if it's used for the upcoming Seven Dwarf's Roller Coaster ride in Fantasyland.
On your recommendation, I'm gonna interrupt TSS to give it another whirl!

I wanted to hate this, as I thought it was a bad idea, but it turned out pretty good. Curses Foiled again!
Bought the Amazon mp3 package with bonuses, and it sounds OK. But now that irks me a a bit because, as an audiophile snob, I want all of these in at least CD if not hi-rez sound. Bonus tracks too.
BB Central, Disney, and/or BriMel should get their acts together and hook up with HDTracks or someone like it to issue this, BWRG, TLOS and BWPS (as well as TSS) in higher-rez formats for those who want them that way and will pay for them. Mark hints at this in the Icon Fetch follow-up interview just posted. See the Rolling Stones Decca catalog and the Beatles hi-rez flash drive anthology, not to mention more recent titles. Yeah it's a niche market but it's one you want to cultivate - these people are music nuts and will spread the word for you!

Sadly, most BW and BB projects over the last 10 years have shown zero interest in this niche market.
TSS might be an exception, but it's an exception because of its legendary status.

John, I also heartily recommend In the Key on Disney; it is drop dead gorgeous singing and playing. Gosh almighty the arrangements are just beautiful; my two faves are the 2 Randy Newman numbers. I've gotta get back to this one.
Uh. Unfortunately. I've. Been. Listening. To. Something. Else. Non-stop. Since. 11/01/11.

"Peace On Earth" is available for free on Amazon today.
Non-americans (like me) are still not allowed to download it though.

Does "You've Got A Friend In Me" remind anyone else of Love You?

I don't think its as good as Reimagines Gershwin, but it had some very high moments on it.
My song grades from 1-10:
You've Got a Friend in Me - 4
The Bare Necessities - 6
Baby Mine - 7
Kiss the Girl - 6
Colors of the Wind - 8
Can You Feel the Love Tonight - 7
We Belong Together - 6
I Just Can't Wait to Be King - 5
Stay Awake - 10
Heigh-Ho - 6
When You Wish Upon a Star - 8
Overall - 6.6
I don't think there is anything really bad on this album. I didn't know all the original songs from Gershwin or Disney, but I know inspiration when I hear it. Brian and his band do a very good job making these songs their own. I have been very happy with BWPS, TLOS, BWRG and KOD!

I'd really push up Baby Mine (love the stuttering drum thing), Kiss the Girl and Heigh-Ho in that list. But the general direction of your thoughts mirror mine.
