Robert Palmer - Don't Explain (1990)

Date: 11 Jul 2012 02:17:10

Don't Explain is Robert Palmer's tenth solo studio album. During the course of its sprawling 18 tracks Palmer displays rock, R&B, jazz and Bahamian influences. Several classic songs are covered, as well. The album peaked at #9 in the UK and #88 in the US. The album was certified UK Gold by BPI in November 1990.

Robert Palmer's second EMI album, which turned out to be a sales disappointment, seems to combine two different musical concepts in its 18 tracks. The first is a straightforward, rhythm-heavy Robert Palmer rock album that takes up about the first half of the record. The second is a soundtrack for a planned musical that a Palmer bio describes as "a futuristic comedy using telling songs from the '40s to the present day," some produced by jazzman Teo Macero. These include songs like Bob Dylan's "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" (done reggae style), Marvin Gaye's "Mercy Mercy Me" and "I Want You," and Rodgers & Hammerstein's "People Will Say We're in Love." The idea looks forward to Palmer's next album, Ridin' High, which is comprised entirely of standards, but the mixture of rhythm tracks and string-filled arrangements here makes for a confusing mixture.
