Critiques / Reviews :

  • "With his second album, 'Pressure Drop', recently out on Island, Robert Palmer has established himself as an artist of great creativity. Backed by members of Little Feat (among others) on record, Palmer’s solo career is off to a great start. Besides, the cover art alone is worth the price of admission." (Cash Box)
  • "Palmer, one of the better known names of contemporary British rock, comes up with a superb example of rock and roll versatility. Using material from Allen Toussaint, Freddie Hibbert (Toots) and Lowell George as well as original material, and employing arrangements ranging from smooth ballads to basic rock to reggae, Palmer successfully tackles a number of today's more popular styles. With his distinctively soulful vocals, Palmer is equally convincing on reggae material, off-shoots of Souhtern rock as well as his own goodtime feel rock. Help on the set from members of Little Feat as well as string arrangements from Gene Page and horns from the Muscle Shoals horns also enhance the set. Far better than his first LP, which was excellent." (Billboard)
  • Palmer's follow-up to 'Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley' stays constant to the sound and spirit of the first album, very funky, spare and taut R&B. Working once more with acore band that includes Little Feat's Lowell George on guitar, keyboardist Bill Payne and drummer Richie Hayward, Palmer squeezed down harder and grainier than ever on a vocal. He hasn't sounded so impetuous and confident since the Vinegar Joe, 'Rock 'n' Roll Gypsies', album, and he has also contributed half the songs, all of them spot on. The remainder are naturals for Palmer - George's 'Trouble', Toussaint's 'River Boat' and the album's title cut 'Pressure Drop', an old Toots and the Maytals' number, recently released by "Toots" Hibbert himself on the 'Funky Kingston' album. Palmer more than does it justice as he does to all his chosen material, in many cases offering recognizably classic interpretations. Robert Palmer has, as it's called, an 'explosive talent', and the fuse is getting shorter and shorter." (The Leader Post)
  • "Robert Palmer has been tagged the best white blues vocalist since Stevie Winwood, a boast that certainly holds up on Pressure Drop, Palmer's second solo effort. There's no disputing the creativity of Palmer. His 12-minute, reggae-inspired title track is reputed to have been recorded and mixed in 20 minutes. A feat which makes one wonder how such as spartan recording effort could have spawned such a brilliant album. Palmer does get a little help mind you, from the likes of Little Feat's Lowell George and Toots And The Maytals." (The Calgary Herald)
