Synopsis

Amazon.com
New Agey pianist Jim Brickman's history with children-friendly material goes back a long way--one of his early assignments was writing for Jim Henson, after all. On this album, he tackles Disney songs, although that definition is rather flexible. New tracks "Beautiful" (featuring vocalist Wayne Brady) and "I'm Amazed" (featuring country singer Lila McCann) aren't actually from any movie or TV show but inspired by Cinderella. (Other singing guests of note include former American Idol contestants Kimberley Locke and Josh Gracin.) Brickman's approach is so mellow that it's hard to tell the tunes apart in a Mary Poppins medley made up of five different songs, including the usually upbeat "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." This actually extends to the entire album, which feels like an extended medley. On the plus side, nothing comes in to peskily disrupt the soothing vibe. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

CD Reviews

Jim Brickman "The Disney Songbook"
Vicki M. Knight | Plainfield, IL | 01/16/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jim Brickman does an awesome job "brickmanizing" the Disney classics. The songs on this cd bring back so many memories, from being a kid to being an adult with kids. Jim plays outstanding and does justice to the Disney songs. Accompanying Jim are Wayne Brady singing "Beautiful", Michael Bolton "Hear Me", Tracy Silverman does an awesome job on the electrical violin accompanying Jim especially with "Beauty and the Beast" and "Can You Fell The Love Tonight" from the Lion King. Lila McCann sings "When I See An Elephant Fly" from Dumbo. Jim does a wonderful Mary Poppins Medley. Jim plays magically with "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes", "Some Day My Prince Will Come' and ends with "When You Wish Upon A Star". You can envision Walt Disney talking on the show as he did in the 1960's. This CD brings back so many memorable moments with the Disney Classics. You will truly enjoy this CD."
Simply Wonderful!!

"I purchased this CD last week at a Jim Brickman concert and I have listened to it almost every day since then. It is truly an inspired collection of old and new songs with the perfect balance of vocals and instrumentals. The new songs, "Beautiful" and "I'm Amazed" are really lovely."
