O Mickey Where Art Thou

Product Description Ori. Release '03 voices of Bluegrass plays the best of Disney tunes includes contributions from Collin Raye Ronnie Milsap Stonewell Jackson Charlie Louvie etc Amazon.com It's not what you're thinking: No Mickey squeaking out songs, no picking and grinning Goofy, no banjo-wielding Pluto woofing mountain music. Instead, O Mickey assembles a first-rate cast of country players for a down-home roundup of Disney covers, from 's "Circle of Life" to 's "When You Wish Upon a Star" to 's warm "The Bare Necessities." It works, based not only on performances by the better-known artists ( included), but also a couple of bona fide instrumental boot-stompers--"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" gets the dueling fiddles treatment, and "The Mickey Mouse Club March" medley lock-steps it to mandolin and Dobro. Directing bluebirds squarely to shoulders is Elizabeth Cook's breezy "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah," but if there's a shortcoming here it's the blurring of country and bluegrass, a muddling of styles apt to get any self-respecting Soggy Bottom Boy's britches in a twist. --Tammy La Gorce
