Woke Up Laughing is an album of remixes, re-recordings and otherwise creative approaches to Robert Palmer's music recorded over the years that reflected his love of world music. Subtitled Adventures in Tropical Music: 1977-1997, he produced the new versions himself. Suggested to Palmer by Gerald Seligman, the Executive Producer and creator of EMI Hemisphere, Palmer rejected the idea of a simple compilation, preferring a rethink and a fresh approach.
Woke Up Laughing is a Robert Palmer "best of" set that zeroes in on his long standing love of world music, African, Latin, and Carribean influenced arrangements and (in many cases) lyrics. Although best known alternately as a blue eyed soul singer frollicking with Little Feat and Lowell George or as the suave pop sophisticate whose unique blend of driving guitar powered hard rock with R&B flavored dance beats dominated Top 40 radio in the 80's and early 90's, Robert Palmer often composed and arranged music in very diverse styles not present in his radio hits. Starting with his early solo work in the 70's and runing through into the mid 90's, Palmer routinely recorded songs with strong world music backgrounds, even on some of most successful rock albums. This set captures most of them, nearly 20 years worth, and includes several "standards" of the singer's live act as well as a few more recent gems like "Charanga" (performed with The Power Station) and "Honey A/HoneyB" (based upon African JuJu music). Long time fans will remember minor hits like "Pride" and "Woke Up Laughing", also included. A few songs are represneted in alternative versions or with slightly different arrangements than when first released on past albums. Excellent liner notes where Robert Palmer discusses the background of each song. Truly a showcase of the multi faceted nature of the musician, this album is a must for any Robert Palmer fan. If it's radio hits and hard rock you're looking for, check out other collections. Reviewed by Thomas Leonard amazon.com
