Grizzly

Expedition Wild presents the unique story of Casey Anderson, a man who has dedicated himself to wildlife preservation. Casey has a daring approach to understanding grizzlies’ every move, something most evident in the special relationship he has with Brutus. The bond between the two is both strong and touching, a genuine friendship. Watch Bruno swim at the local pool and celebrate with him as he enjoys his birthday party.

A strange and puzzling story is swirling through the land of the midnight sun: Polar Bears and Brown Bears, isolated from one another for millennia by geography, climate, and behavior, are suddenly appearing side-by-side – prompting Casey Anderson to embark on a fact-finding mission to the Arctic and put Brutus, his nine-hundred pound Brown Bear, through the paces of “Life as a Polar Bear” in the hopes of solving one of the natural world’s most intriguing new mysteries.

Grizzly Bear songs 'Easier,' 'Dory,' 'Foreground' 'Granny Diner,' 'Lullaby,' 'I Live With You,' 'Alligator (Choir Version)' and 'Shift (Alternate Version),' none of which are previously unreleased, are all included in the final cut of the film shown at Sundance. Department of Eagles, side project of Grizzly's Daniel Rossen, also contributed 'In Ear Park.'

Bear Family Records came into being in the late summer of 1975. We want to celebrate the company's 35th anniversary with a very special release. A specially priced CD/book edition has been produced just for this event. Our friends in the music industry, musicians and songwriters, have written and recorded a collection of 'Bear' songs especially for our anniversary. These original recordings - 68 in all - are available exclusively on this LP-sized Bear Family boxed set. Especially interesting are the songs that deal not just with any old bear, but with our own Bear Family label - Jim Diamond: Bear Family; Deke Dickerson: Bear Family Talking Blues; Roland Heinrich: Sixteen Discs, and Kim Lenz: What I Crave.
