Robert Palmer - Drive

First time on vinyl!

Grammy-winner's 13th studio album on double LP!

Three albums by the late singer and Grammy-winner Robert Palmer are being released on vinyl for the first time. They are Live at the Apollo, Drive and Rhythm & Blues.

Drive came out in 2003, and would wind up being Palmer's 14th and final studio release before his September 2003 death from a heart attack. Critics hailed it as the grittiest and most heartfelt album of Palmer's career.

The selections from Drive can best be described as a loose collection of both standard and contemporary blues compositions (Robert Johnson, Little Willie John, Keb' Mo'), with a smattering of other genres, including folk (Nicolai Dunger) and calypso (Mighty Sparrow), prompting Palmer to call the result "a gut-buckety swamp thing." The album peaked at No. 10 on the U.S. blues albums chart.
