Palmer Robert - Drive

Fakta For lack of a better word, Drive (2003) might be termed Robert Palmer's blues album. Some of the songs are in the strict blues form, and the arrangement approach tends toward spare acoustic elements. Palmer's throaty voice and urgent delivery are well-suited to the songs, and his usual taste for the Caribbean lightens things up. Palmer is a stickler for grooves, and these tracks are carefully edited so that you never really imagine you're in a jukejoint.
