5.0 out of 5 stars FINE,Savvy R&B,Reggae & Funk Flavors, October 3, 2003

Robert Palmer+snazzy suit (as always) delivers not only a classic album cover but a record filled with the deep funk of
"Work To Make It Work","Fine Time" and "Trouble",the upbeat
Carribean-style reggae of the tital song and catchy pop/soul numbers like "Give Me And Inch","Back In My Arms" and "Here With
You Tonight".This is primal,Little Feat/Meters-influenced Robert
Palmer with that great New Orleans Dr.John'ilke funky feel-before
Palmer's hard rock productions took over and along with his other
three mid 70's albums a perfect example of this genre!

I love this album and never get tired of listening to it. Had it on cassette for years, and last year got it on CD. As the previous reviewer correctly pointed out this is an eclectic collection but I think there is a common thread running through the songs even though there are various styles used.
I don't know whether this soul or funk or rock and frankly I don't care. Its bloody good music. Robert Palmers vocals are as always that wonderful blue-eyed soul that so perfectly fitted this early part of his career.
Little Feat are heavily involved and the influence of groups like The Meters can still be heard in the grooves that are laid down.
I don't think theres a duff track on the album. Favourites well if I had to pick two it would be 'Fine Time' and 'Back In My Arms' which which sort of sums up the album for me, but on another day I'd probably pick two others!
If you like your music with a heavy dose of funk/soul and a sprinkling of Reggae this is an essential album to get.

I saw Mr. Palmer at The Roxy in West Hollywood on the Tour for this album. Robert played 3 nights, 2 shows a night, I remember after meeting him that he told me "The record company is recording these shows for my next album". Anyway.. back to the show. Robert started the show with "Work To Make It Work", the band was well rehersed and he had 2 Female backup singers. I was a kid, and wanting to witness "history", I saw all 3 nights and the shows got better as I got to know the set list. He did most of Pressure Drop, and assorted songs fron "Sneakin Sally". When we talked after the 1st night, Robert said "he was excited to be releasing a live album". I told him "I'll be the 1st person to buy it when it comes out". He was impressed with this 14 year old Fan from Los Angeles. The next release from Robert was a studio album, and I was Bummed Out. But I'll never forget Robert, lookin' oh so sharp, Crooning 'Back In my Arms", the girls were swooning. The Creole tunes like "Here With You Tonight" had a swinging bouncy feel live. Boy, Folks.. This was an unforgettable evening. I miss Robert, I saw him at House of Blues while he was on tour for his last CD. The guy was a pro. Pressure Drop is a must have CD. Gotta love this man, and his music.
