The first thing that hits you is the luscious voice. It caresses and enfolds the listener and does so effectively in ballads, songs that might otherwise just be camp (If I Only Had a Brain), comedic songs, and more. The openly gay songs are refreshing and mix nicely with the more dramatic offerings. I'll come back to this one.

I have listened to this CD about 20 times. Mostly commuting to/from work. The music starts and the dream begins. It's easy to imagine you're on a gay cruise for bears. MusicBear would be the perfect headline act in the nightclub. He opens with "Here I Am." The sonic shock of synth and church cantor baritone make you nudge your friend and say, "Well, it's not 'La Clemenza di Tito.'" The next song is totally captivating. It's "If I Only Had a Brain." Secretly, this has always been your favorite from the Wizard of Oz. This is the best cover you've ever heard. The beat of "Home" makes the bears take to the dance floor. It's a great dance number. "Spanish Is a Loving Tongue" calms the dancing. It's soulful and makes you recall that oso guapo you dated in college. Then, "R U Ready to Dance" starts. As fate would have it, you're next to that bearcub you've been eyeing since you left port. You tilt your head to the dance floor. He joins you. Shirts come off - as do all your pretenses about op

As a gay man I loved it, but it won't get national airplay because I think most people will see it as to gay for radio airplay. Mostly what I liked is how it had it's own style and all the songs didn't all sound the same like most popular music does. you can find at least one song you will like depeonding on what your musical taste is.
