Free Music Review: Discover the Many Shades of Robert Palmer
Hit: 5 Stars

This is an excellent and diverse collection encompassing Palmer's entire career (with the exception of "Drive," the blues album he released just before his death in 2003). Those who know him only from his later hits may be surprised-as I admit I was-that Palmer had been recording for over a decade before Power Station, "Addicted to Love," and "Simply Irresistible." All those biggees are here, as well as early hits like "Every Kinda People" and "Bad Case of Lovin' You," but the best part for me was discovering lesser known gems like "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)," "Some Guys Have All the Luck" (bears almost no resemblance whatsoever to the Rod Stewart version), "Know By Now," and his fantastic covers of the Gap Band's "Early in the Morning" and Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)." An underappreciated artist whose range of material was far broader than his American successes would suggest. For any fan of rock, pop, blues, R&B/soul, and even a little techno, this is absolutely worth buying.

Best of Both Worlds: Anthology 1974-2001 Poster

Most pop stars are lucky if they can create one enduring piece of cultural iconography for themselves. Unfortunately for Robert Palmer, his MTV-forged persona as impeccably tailored ?80s crooner backed by a band of leggy fashion models largely overshadowed a career that was as eclectic as it was accomplished. Those who know the singer only by his video for "Addicted to Love" arguably don't know Palmer at all. Indeed, during the previous decade his ostensibly blue-eyed soul sensibilities had actually encompassed funk, New Orleans R&B, reggae, rock, and pop both Euro ("Give Me an Inch") and synth Gary Numan's "I Dream of Wires"). But that creative restlessness also seems to be the reason his commercially promising stint in the all-star Power Station (represented here by "Some Like It Hot" and an infectious cover of T. Rex's "Bang A Gong") was so short-lived. And it's perhaps why, after "Simply Irresistible" and the surge of alternative rock essentially marked the end of his MTV prime, his ?90s work variously retrenched Palmer in soul (including a rewarding medley of Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me"/"I Want You"), torch songs, Caribbean influences, and even Delta blues. This collection ably completes the musical circle Palmer began in the mid ?70s, astutely chronicling pop's ongoing battle between style and substance along the way. --Jerry McCulley
