Hear the Masses is the debut album by Bradley Joseph, (see 1994 in music), a self-produced and self-published release consisting of 10 original instrumental compositions ranging from upbeat piano to orchestral ballads.

Other guest artists include Larry Preston (guitar), and Terry Brau — featured on numerous Bradley Joseph recordings — playing trumpet, saxophone, and fluegelhorn.

"It's Bisharat's virtuostic violin that immediately attracts the listener's attention in the opening of 'Rose Colored Glasses' Listenⓘ ...an upbeat song that has driving, forward momentum", states Music Outfitters.

[2] Music from this release has been utilized during The Weather Channel's "Local on the 8s" segments including "Rose Colored Glasses", and "Friday's Child" which is included in the 2008 compilation CD, The Weather Channel Presents: Smooth Jazz II Joseph often references the past when he names his songs and his music is frequently reminiscent of his rural Minnesota roots.

"Wind Farmer" was inspired by childhood visits to a relative's farm near Olivia, says Anne Polta of the West Central Tribune.
