Harry Connick, Jr.'s career has been studded with awards and recognition, including several multi-platinum and gold albums, Grammy and Emmy awards, a starring role in a Tony-winning Broadway musical and much more. A true American icon, there are few artists of Harry's stature, and fewer still with such a comprehensive span of the entire realm of entertainment.
Harry Connick, Jr., has announced his most personal work to date with Every Man Should Know, a 12-song album that touches “upon love and loss, celebration and sorrow, tragedy and hope,” according to a Wednesday press release from Columbia Records.
Connick admitted that his past work came from “a fantasy-style concept, using ideas that intrigued me but didn’t necessarily come from personal experience.”
“It’s one thing to assume the role of a storyteller — it’s quite another when the story is your own,” he added. “I felt ready to explore some of my personal experiences in some of the songs this time around.”
