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.
