Underrated Rhythm-Driven Masterpiece,
By Matt Butler (Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: She (Audio CD)
Critics and fans, who were used to Harry Connick Jr.'s big band jazz, didn't know what to make of this raucous album of funk, rock, and dixieland. For the most part they wrote it off as something of an indulgence, a foray into Connick's New Orleans roots that amounted to a diversion from his more 'serious' work. This is too bad, because it has caused many people to overlook one of the most original and enjoyable recordings of the nineties.The composition and arrangement is brilliant, but this album is first and foremost about groove. The mood ranges from hyperkinetic mardi gras dance numbers to spare funk laid so far back it feels like it might topple over. But the groove is always rock-solid, acting as the centrepiece of each tune. The vocals, horn lines, and solos don't rest on TOP of the groove so much as become PART of it. This is an album that makes you want to grin an bop along, but you're just as likely to find yourself singing a bass line or organ riff as a melody. The musicianship is top-notch, from the tight, understated drumming, to the eloquent wah-wah guitar, to Connick's own wizardry at the piano. The lyrics are wry and thoughtful, and even the two weirdly nonhuman spoken word interludes seem to work. This album is sophisticated yet accessible, genre-spanning yet cohesive, accomplished yet easygoing, and above all, huge fun.

One of my very favorite CD's,
By "schnoodc" (Greenbelt, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: She (Audio CD)
This is a CD I just can't live without. I've owned this album for the better part of the last decade and it has never ceased to sound fresh, funky, and fun. This is not big band Connick. This is well-done 70's funk-influenced rock-tinged music.

Creative and Unique Funk - Best Harry Connick Album Yet!,
By marcion - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: She (Audio CD)
Harry Connick's "She" is the most creative example of funk music available...and it happens to be my favorite Harry Connick album (I have them all). It's also better than "Star Turtle", Connicks other attempt at funk, because of the interesting artists he collaborates with, including Booker T. The album is innovative, interesting, and some of the later tracks could be classified as experimental. However, if you like his more common Sinatra-style big band & swing tunes, stick with "Come by Me" or "To See You", and you may be disappointed with this.The first five songs are great - more traditional examples of funky jazz than the rest of the album. I especially enjoy "She" and "Between Us", two upbeat (non-experimental) jazz tunes. The only song on this album you're likely to hear on the radio is "Whisper Your Name", another upbeat signature-style tune which was featured in the absolutely horrible & disturbing 1991 movie "Hudson Hawk". But the genius in this album lies in the last 9 tracks, which were conscientiously arranged to flow together seamlessly. In this respect, it is similar to "Star Turtle", in which the songs follow a story line. However, these nine songs on "She", which represent the bulk of the album, play as if it were one long song/composition - unlike the "Star Turtle" & the first five songs of "She", these tracks do not quite sound right if listened to individually. These tracks are true experimental funk, interacting with unique instruments, poetry, sound effects, & dialogue. It takes nearly 45 minutes to hear them all together, but it's quite an experience, and I'm unaware of any other contemporary musician who arranges music this way. Other recent/similar attempts at interesting funk-jazz are the "Get Shorty" Soundtrack (primarily arranged by Booker T) and some of Moby's work, including the MobySongs album. "Star Turtle" by Connick is also a good album, but not as funky as "She". 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

A Nice Departure,
By "easmith14@hotmail.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: She (Audio CD)
While Harry Connick Jr. is generally know for his big band sound, I found this change to be a pleasant one. I am a huge fan of all of his work, this album included. By far, the best songs on the c.d. are "She", and "Whisper Your Name". This album has great songs, and shows Connick's versatility as a performer. I highly recommend this album to everyone, especially Connick lovers.
