Star Turtle is an album by Harry Connick Jr., released in 1996, receiving a Gold Album Certification July 8, 2004. It is primarily a funk album but also features pop, Mardi Gras rhythms, ballads and rock.
"City Beneath the Sea" describes unique New Orleans street scenes, and features a brief but notable piano solo.
"Hear Me in the Harmony" became an MTV hit. The song is a tribute to James Booker.
Four of the tracks, namely the four "Star Turtle" tracks, tell a tale of a giant space turtle coming to New Orleans, looking for music salvation. He is given a tour through the city and samples the musical diversity, visiting a funk club, a jazz club, and a street parade.
These four tracks ("Star Turtle 1", 2, 3 & 4) are special; the first one is a wild arrangement of drums, horns, guitars and overdubbed, whispery voices. Connick plays every instrument and is the voice of every word heard on the four pieces.
