Reviews

If you've read a few reviews of this album, then you'll notice it's a subject of heavy 'Love-it or Hate-it' contention.

Personally, I think both 'Star Turtle' and 'She' were excellent departures from Harry's conventional sound, and they also celebrate the sound of his beloved New Orleans.

The main challenge people have with 'Star Turtle' and 'She' is the excerpt tracks where the album goes a little left field. On She it was the 'Follow the Music' tracks and on Star Turtle it was 'Star Turtle 1 - 4'. They seem to divide the album into portions and make it more concept than straight ahead New Orleans funk.

My advice is to just skip the excerpt tracks and go for another track. If you listen to it this way, then you'll get the vibe of both these excellent albums. Everything about the songs is great - the vocals, the instrumentation and the overall vibe that comes with them.

I give it 5 stars for Harry's courage to go a little left of centre and also to celebrate his New Orleans/funk roots.
