On 2006's DISNEY STANDARDS, pop vocalist Steve Tyrell offers up a charming set of tunes from vintage Mouse House films. Although Tyrell's gravelly voice may seem like an unlikely match for the melodies from animated classics such as DUMBO and PINOCCHIO, the project works to wonderful effect, allowing the vocalist to imbue the songs with plenty of emotion. Trumpeter Chris Botti joins Tyrell on a delicate reading of "When You Wish Upon a Star" (from PINOCCHIO), and Dr. John sits in on an easy-going rendition of "You've Got a Friend in Me" (from TOY STORY). (The latter is a slightly strange pairing since Tyrell's voice echoes Dr. John's own singing style). Other highlights include "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" (a dreamy, piano-driven version of the beloved CINDERELLA song) and "The Bare Necessities" (a smooth, orchestral take on the JUNGLE BOOK original). For fans of both Disney movies and Tyrell, this disc is sure to entertain.
