    A lot could be said about this album. I was very weary about this release. I mean, why would we want Brian to redo Disney songs. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a more then bearable album, with some great reinterpretations. I truly recommend Bare Necessities, Kiss the Girl and We Belong Together. Even the awful Can't You Feel The Love Tonight has become listenable due to theA lot could be said about this album. I was very weary about this release.

I truly recommend Bare Necessities, Kiss the Girl and We Belong Together. Even the awful Can't You Feel The Love Tonight has become listenable due to the restraint Wilson version.

    Mostly, the album suffers from just too much of the patronizing, saccharine Disney vibe and not enough echt Wilson.

    Despite the natural feel of these songs as sung by Wilson and performed by his talented backing band, anyone who's paid attention to his solo career of the '90s and 2000s won't hear any surprises.
