Harry Connick Jr.
Every Man Should Know
Time To Go
Harry Connick, Jr. has built a reputation for musical and emotional honesty. Never one to rest on his ever-growing list of laurels, Connick exposes his feelings as never before on Every Man Should Know. The new CD contains.
more » twelve original songs for which Connick wrote music, lyrics and arrangements. No rules, no limits, is how the multi-talented artist describes the songs in his liner notes for the new collection. I don t recall ever reaching quite as deeply or confidently into my inhibition pool.
The title track is indicative of how anecdote and imagination yield inspired results. I was building a workbench with a carpenter friend, Connick explains, and my lack of any knowledge about carpentry left me feeling so inadequate. It led me to think about other things that every man should know, like how to change a tire. Then I began thinking about what everybody should know how to do, and that s to love.
