Product note

Personnel: Harry Connick, Jr. (vocals, tenor saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, clarinet, piano, Fender Rhodes, Hammond B-3 organ, Mini-Moog synthesizer, acoustic & electric guitars, acoustic & electric basses, drums, bass drum, congas); Tony Hall (vocals, guitar, bass); Ned Goold, Jerry Weldon (tenor saxophone); Dave Schumacher (baritone saxophone); Jeremy Davenport, Dan Miller (trumpet); Lucien Barbarin (trombone, percussion, cymbal); Mark Mullins (trombone); Jonathan DuBose, Jr. (guitar); Raymond Weber (drums, snare drum, percussion).
Recorded at Power Station, Studio A and Sony Music Studios, Studio D, New York, New York in December 1995.
STAR TURTLE is a concept album about a giant turtle from outer space who lands in New Orleans and meets up with Harry Connick, Jr., who proceeds to show the shelled alien behemoth a good time in the Crescent City's various musical hot spots. This is the most prominent role played by a turtle since the Grateful Dead's TERRAPIN STATION, and perhaps the most ridiculous plot for a concept album since the Who's TOMMY; it's also a wonderfully dizzying tour through this great city's musical stylings, with Connick as the consummate tour guide.
Connick, who seems to have abandoned his Sinatra-inflected crooning style for good with the 1994 album SHE, dives head-first into the sounds of local heroes (the Meters, Neville Brothers and Radiators all loom large), out-of-town heroes ("Boozahound" is permeated by Elton Johnish honky-tonk inflections), and jukebox heroes ("Eyes Of The Seeker" is Steve Miller-esque). The turtle, by the way, has a great night and proves to be quite a dancer.
