Palmer is backed by The Meters and Lowell George of Little Feat. Multiple reviewers have commented that Palmer sang confidently on this album, despite being backed by more accomplished musicians such as Lowell George, Art Neville and New Orleans singer-songwriter Allen Toussaint.
Recorded in New Orleans, Louisiana, New York, and Compass Point Studios in Nassau, the album was released on compact disc in 1987 by Wea manufacturing.
The album peaked at No. 107 in the US according to the Billboard 200 chart.

Thanks Gus :) Thoughtful of you to leave a message on our blog
Never too late to give Robert Palmer a go. I must admit the line up here motivates me!
Thanks guys for your comments
Palmer passed me by also - just like Lowell George did - though I do recall "William and Mary" (I think... is that the right title? Maybe not.) He was even in a friend's band for a bit but I never got around to hearing them.
Then suddenly, some time in the '90s, another late mate Teo Macero invited me to attend a summer-time filming of a Christmas concert at the Royal Albert Hall for which he had a BBC big band and orchestra under his baton and the same Robert Palmer geezer warbling seasonal standards.
Like Rod Stewart and the Great American Songbook - the result was fucking awful.
(And I seemed to be the only guy who noticed.)
However, I am easily persuaded that it wasn't the best way to appreciate what the dude did well naturally that made him successful - and this one after all comes along with the Gustibus seal of approval and a promisingly fearsome line-up of magicians.
Probably a much much better and more appropriate way of digging his schtick than "When The Red Red Robin.." or "The Twelve Days of Christmas". And I love surprises as much as the Meters already.
Thanks, Gus.
Oh yeah!!
That's MUCH more solid amd real.
I am convinced.
Thanks again.
